As to shallow draft, mine is also 4' 6" even though it is 49 ft in length. However, it is not at anchor that I worry about being run down by a ship. It is out on the ocean blue. Incidently, shallow draft is great, isn't it. I had the option of building with a draft of either 4' 6" or 6 foot. Around New Zealand, 6 ft would be fine but in parts of Australia, especially the navigable rivers and the parts of Asia that I wanted to travel, a shallower draft has advantages. What we enjoy is arriving at a crowded anchorage where the close in spots have been taken and nipping behind those and dropping anchor closer to the beach. cheers Peter |
