[C320-list] Keel draft

[sail-ability sail-ability]

   I had my draft measured when I bought the boat, 1999#574, draft is
   4'10" and it has the deep bilge!

   1999 #574

     I've always wondered why it is called the "deep bilge." Now I know.
     Learning should be a lifelong endeavor.

     If you review the posting history. Link on 320 site, you will find
     that
     when the design added depth to the bilge, the draft increased,
     because the
     same keels were kept. Believe subsequently there was a change on
     wing to
     got to 310 keel and the draft was decreased. There may be info in
     the hull
     history on the 320 web site. To measure is always best. Pat
