Am looking at a John Alden 32' cedar over oak. This is a full keel with 8'6" beam. Weighs in at 12,500. Built in 1949. This is a narrow hull compared to more modern designs.
My question is, what are the handling and ride differences with a narrower hull compared to say a 10'6" beam with full keel? For instance, a Gulf 32 at 16000#.
Thanks
Gordon
