That is definitely an aftermarket keel! The original 39 keel was swept
back and had a 6' 3" draft. My family had a 39 that had been similarly
modified. It was extremely fast upwind but had too much weather helm and
needed a much bigger rudder. The 39 sailed best when it was highly
loaded (sail and heel-wise) but it rounded up way too easily with the
Doug Peterson style keel.

Is it the deep draft? I would need to chop 3-1/2 feet off that keel to
get into my slip.
