Hi,
I have a question regarding Fin Keel (6ft) vs Shoal Keel (4.4ft) performance in Ericson 32 MKIII.
Anybody has experience with both and could share it?
I understand that shoal keel boat will not sail as well upwind as fin (deep) keel - how bad is shoal keel here comparing to fin keel?
I’m even more concerned about shoal keel 32-3 ability to handle heavy seas.
I read that this boat sailed through Pacific to Hawaii but I’m assuming it was fin keel - would it be possible (safe) to do the same in shoal keel Ericson 32-3?
Is rudder length the same in both models?
Thank you
