You're right, Victoria, I shouldn't pretend that the drop keel has no effect. If you know how a SeaHawk should perform you certainly do notice that it is missing in narrow channels, but as I suggested it's much harder to detect with no land marks close by.

A Broads sailor should certainly be encouraged to give priority to fixing the keel.
