Wing keels have a tendency to imitate a Bruce anchor. Some on the Chesapeake
have found out that if you go aground with them on mud or sand the wings bury
and a tow is frequently the only way to get free.

John asked: Can you say "wing keel"?

We asked about that and were told that wing keels are not good on the
shoals...that they tend to bury themselves and you can't get off without Sea
Tow or someone coming to give you a shove....
By "Estero Island" did you mean Ft. Myers Beach?

Yes...Fort Myers Beach is on Estero Island
Did you go to the
bird sanctuary on Sanibel?

With 15 foot marauding alligators dining on women? Nah.....Went to Lover's
Key....

Some acquaintances of ours had one for several years...prettiest daysailor
I've ever seen and truly functional...they are very expensive, though, but
hold their value well. And how many 15 ft boats can you rig with a
spinnaker?

I'm quoting them right off their Beettle Cat Web site.

They feely admit their lack of skill.

I wouldn't include laser sailors. I'd rate them on the
other end of the scale.

Hoo-wee... Bart that is really a wild statement. Would you include Laser
sailors in that sweeping generalization??

... You'll see evidence of
this on their web sites where its stated they never reef or go out when
it's windy. http://www.beetlecat.com/reefing.htm

Tad;

The "Dutch" have done damn well, for years with Leeboards in their thin
waters but they don't berth them!

I'm not much for catamarran's at all but we have talked about a
catboat...saw one we really liked at the boat show in February....also
thought maybe something like a Point St Jude, which would be great for
gunkholing around, too, but still sail nicely....but then, there is that cb
Elite sitting down there....

Here you go. Just hit our local "for sale" newsgroup.
