The rest snipped 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" I dont like centerboards for big boats cuz the trunk gets in the way. I also have problems with their reliability having seen several boats lose theirs. Extreme fouling conditions also limit their reliability. It is a matter of preference, I prefer my simple shoal keel with encapsulated ballast. |
