Good morning fellow C&C owners, I'm looking for input from those who have sailed the shoal draft version of the C&C 30 (draft of 4'2") in comparison to the standard draft version (5'). Theoretically, the standard version should point a little better, but in practice is there much difference in performance and sailing characteristics? In terms of base handicap on Lake Erie, there is a 6 second difference (183 for shoal draft versus 177 for standard).
Also, does anyone know whether C&C ever made a deeper draft version of the C&C 30? There was a 1976 C&C 30 for sail in the boatyard next to my boat this spring and the keep was deep and definitely not the 5' swept back keel characteristic of the 30. Sitting next to my 32 on the cradle, it appeared every bit as tall and I kept looking at it in puzzlement. The ad for this boat on yachtworld said it had a draft of 5'10". Thanks, Graham
