That was me. Thanks for the info. For perspective purposes, what
does your 28 S2 draw?

Frank
My S2 draws 3'10". If I dont go aground at least once when I sail, I
figure i am not going anywhere interesting. Obviously, I need shoal
draft.

No....shoal draft is a royal pain...you lose headway bigtime....
Well, 6 foot draft in 4 feet of water will cause you to lose even more
headway, Katy. Where Dave lives, that's the situation.

a centerboard keel would be better than a shoal draft...at least then
he'd have aptions...
A centerboard/keel is generally considered shoal draft. Shoal simply means
"shallow"

Our shoal draft O'Day 22 did not have a centerboard....Neal's Crapanado,
a shoal draft, does not have a centerboard...they are two separate
entities...

Oh my god! Are you really that stupid? Really?

No, but you certainly seem to be.
