Not in my home sailing area it won't. It will go real fast between

And a performance boat like this is unlikely to offer a real
shoal-draft option. Oh well.

In fact, this kind of foil set-up looks great to me. The
bulb puts the weight down the lowest without the
complications of a wing, and the ability to crank it up for
anchoring or even beaching. The downsides are maintenance to
the lifting gear, loss of interior volume to the trunk.

Hey dumb bell, did it occur to you that they might publish
the specs of the boat? You can see what the draft actually
is, as opposed to what it "looks to draw."

Bubbles, you're nuts.
