My name is Brian. I've been sailing and buying and selling boats for well over 20 years. In that time I've spent countless hours hunting across multiple websites, forums, and old printed guides just to find the basic specs on a boat I was researching. There was no single place that brought it all together.
Keel Index was built to solve that problem. Whether you're researching your first sailboat purchase, comparing bluewater cruisers, or just satisfying your curiosity about a classic design — this is the reference you've been looking for.
Our Mission
Keel Index is dedicated to making boat research faster, easier, and more complete. We're building the most comprehensive sailboat reference database on the internet — combining technical specifications, performance data, curated videos, and photos in one place. No paywalls, no fluff, just the information sailors actually need.
Data & Accuracy
Our spec data has been compiled from multiple sources and is updated regularly. While we strive for accuracy, specifications can vary between production years and individual boats. Always verify critical measurements independently before making a purchase decision. If you spot an error, we'd love to hear from you.
