You might have started at 3'6" - what do you really think you have now? Your boom alone
probably added 2 inches! And in a blow that shoal draft keel makes more leeway than I do.

I might loose that contest against a high pointing racing mono that's close to my length,
but with your boat I wouldn't have to bear off at all to just walk away. Your only chance
would be in a narrow channel.

I've got three and a half feet of draft and I'll race
you to weather in a good blow on open water any
time and I'll point higher than you.

Oh, right. Please tell us what monohull with a 3 foot draft goes to
weather better than my boat. remeber, it has to have three
staterooms with queen size bunks!

Real cruisers stop by because they know my fridge is twice as
large! But I'm often anchored close to shore since a three foot
draft allows me to go where most monohulls only dream of.


How about paying more attention to going where
three-foot-draft monohulls can only dream of going
- like to weather?

He he!
