Scotty Potty has indicated that cost was not a factor in
choosing his
current Siedelmann 30 over a C&C 30. He PREFERED the
Siedelmann and
now says he LIED when he said he couldn't afford the C&C
boats.

I'm very familiar with the C&C line and have been aboard
many of the
well respected designs, from the small 25 to the 30, 34
and 37 and of
course my own C&C 32, Alien.

I'd like to know what aspects of the Siedelmann 30's
design and build
are superior to the C&C boats in particular.

Ah, always the first and most important consideration in the area I
sail in. Where you looking for less or more?

This oughta be good! Scotty Potty claimed he couldn't afford the C&C
30. Draft was never mentioned. Doesn't his boat have a 5 foot draft?
I'm dying to hear about his issues with the 5 foot draft of the C&C 30
in his area. But since cost was NOT the issue, I'd like to hear why he
bought the boat of other better low draft designs.

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

So, you're saying that Boob-Tube isn't correct on this?

WOW! I'm amazed.

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.

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!

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.
