Looking specifically at a Moody 425 (1980's) there are two keel
configurations available: a standard fin keel at 1.88 m draft and a
shoal keel at 1.44 m draft which has a flared lower edge (foot?).

Apart from the obvious advantage of less draft in shallow waters can
anybody comment on how the different keels perform during different
points of sailing and in different wave conditions?

Thanks for any help.
