[C320-list] Wing vs deep keel

Good choice. But the keel depends on where you sail and the kind of sailing you do. There was an interesting
exchange in the last couple of days on list. The boat will track better with a deep keel. It will be easier to get
unstuck when you run aground. Probably better for racing too. But others will probably talk about that. If you
want to explore shallow water, then the wing may be better. Others will say that is what a dingy is for.
But I'd say you can go for miles in five ft of water with a wing. 

There are at least two boats for sale here on the list. Mine may be next but I am waiting until the end of the year. If I have a good season, it may be another year. hehehhee

Best of luck

I'm going to buy a 320 and would be interested in thoughts on wing vs.deep keel boats, not only for performance but also re-sale considerations.
Thanx
