C&C vs. Siedelmann
 

Less. The Chessy is shallow, and I'm a gunkholer at heart.
I only draw 3' 4''.



NOW HEAR THIS:

A Siedelmann 30 is the best choice for a shallow draft sailboat! Also,
boats with 5 foot draft are not popular on the Chessy! Also,
centerboards are not popular on the Chessy!
So that leaves the Siedelmann 30! Best pick!!!!


Seriously!

Me too. The upper gulf has so many great places to go and
so many
unpopulated barrier islands, but shallow draft is a basic
requirement.
My last boat drew 4'10" and that was far too much.

There are tons of nice anchorage's off the Chessy, but, they
get a little crowded in the summer. I like to head 'up
creek', away from the weekend warriors.

Speaking of draft, I think you are running your bait too close to the
surface. Not getting any good hook sets. I suggest you use a planer
to run a little deeper.

This may help.

LOL, Frank. But do look at my nets. They are quite full. Next will be
the typical "oh, but we've caught YOU!" posts even as I turn up the
heat.
Anyway...I'll be off sailing for the weekend, so they can all sit at
home and wait for me to return. At least I'll post some sailing pics
and vids to keep things lively here.
