Roll Chocks

Leonard and all. I gave Bilge keeks  on
My MT50. They are supposed to take Out 10% of the roll but I have not seen That in 17 years of cruising in all kinds of sea conditions
They are big pieces of wood like a 2x6 about 8 ft  or so long they bolted to Hull about on 8 “
Centers and glassed over. The boat itself has a 5 ft keel but these Bilge keeks I do not think will keep the boat from flopping
Over in the mud.  They are at the turn Of the
Bilge. I have  seen European hulls sailboats with
Twin keels That keep boat up right when the tide goes out
