Default Shoal vs full

Same boat, shoal draft vs regular keel

What would be the differences in pointing, reaching and running?
Any differences in rollover factor?
Differences in sea keeping abilities?


Depends on the particular boat, of course, but the primary difference
is usually poorer pointing ability. slight improvement in reaching and
running, slightly more tender, usually about the same righting ability.
