[PUP] Scelenes vs Nordhavns

[Keith]

The Krogen 42, at least my 1986 vintage is advertised to be self-righting 
from 110 degree knockdowns, e.g., the mast in the water. I personally have 
been over 45-50 degrees more than a few times. Has quite the tendency to 
scramble things around and show you how well you prepared (or didn't) for 
that trip. Other than that, she pops right back up.
