Default Coronado 27 faster than I thought.

I think the original figure is with an empty boat that floats
much higher up in the water. Even then I think the LWL
would be greater than 22 feet, though. Another thing is
the shoal keel is about five hundred pounds heaver
than the stantard keel so mine, which is a shoal keel,
floats deeper in the water to begin with even when not
loaded for cruising and living aboard.

Finally, a voice of reason. Thank you Wally.


Can't argue with the numbers. If the 22' is an original Coronado spec, I can
only assume that it was a typo or a misreading of a handwritten note. What
amazes me is that nobody thought to question it until now. You must have had
one of those "wait a minute, that's not right..." moments.
