[C320-list] fin vs. wing keel

[Gene Helfman]

 Dear all: In our ongoing search for a 320 (ca. 2000 +/-), we've run into a
mixture of opinions on the qualities of the shallow vs. deep draft boats.
 We have a harbor and hoist situation in our home port that makes 6 ft draft
problematic but not impossible.  Would anyone like to chime in on the costs
and benefits of the wing keel boats (of which fewer were produced and are
harder to find) vs. the deeper-draft fin keel boats?  We intend to cruise
not race so faster turning isn't much of an issue.

 thanks,
gene
