I imagine that would be determined about where you were looking...or
what the sailing intent is. A racer would most likely want a deep fin
or some configuration thereof whereas someone doing a circumnavigation
would most likely want a full keel. If a person wants to gunkhole or do
a combination of coastal cruising and exploring, they'd want a
centerboard keel or swing keel...the production boat companies are
pressing the wing keel right now...I'd personally hate to go aground
with a wing keel....haven't seen too many shoal dragt boats lately
unless they are a combination with a dropped centerboard....
