Default Proof and the Pudding

RB
35s5...a boat with a draft of only 4.9!


Get a clue - this is not really a shoal draft boat.


Wrong again, Jeff. Anyone want to point out how little Jeff knows about
boats or what the word Shoal means and how shoal draft can even be a
deeper draft than my 4.9?

SHOAL: An offshore hazard to navigation at a depth of 16 fathoms (30
meters or 96 feet) or less, composed of unconsolidated material.

Term: Shoal Draft-generally a shortened keel section to reduce draft.

So....Jeff is busted again! Shoal draft is a variable term and is best
applied to the areas where you sail. On the LIS, sailors agree that 6
foot draft starts giving folks worries and anything below five is very
good for the area. Sounds like I have a shoal draft 35s5! And it still
outpoints your oil rig!
