It appears that there are differing reports from the literature. Sailboatdata.com has the draft at 4.2' for shoal and 5.00' for standard. In any case, it appears that the shoal is somewhere between 4'3" and 4'6" and that theory holds a bit in practice of the owners, but the shoal still points well enough (although not as good as standard as would be expected) and sails to its handicap.

So I don't point as high, but I do make good time to the weather mark.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL From: Joseph Bognar via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Joseph Bognar <jbog...@sympatico.ca> Sent: Sunday, July 10, 2016 9:23 AM Subject: Re: Stus-List C&C 30 Shoal Draft Graham : the shoal draft draws 4'6" I find it still points well Sent from Joe Bognar _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
