[C320-list] fin vs. wing keel

[BAdams3491 at aol.com]

If a 6' draft is a problem, get the wing...especially if racing is  not an  
issue.

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
