Rather easy, but enjoyable.
I concur with the above comment. I did not find it very difficult, but other may.
It was fun, though perhaps in the next one don't give the number of letters or which letter is to be removed.

I have to agree w/HABS. But it was great to see a new teaser.
Keel is a part of a boat and does not mean to capsize. The phrase 'keel over' means to capsize.
Pretty easy, but Fun - Nice Teaser!
I am with "Elentir" regarding keel, plus never heard of genuflect?
I really liked it, but I would have liked the number of letters and/or the position of the removed one to be the hint, rather than right in the question. That made it pretty easy.
And I'm ok with the definition of keel. A little different than capsize, but from Dictionary.com...
