Sadler 32, deep or shallow

[bumblefish]

No, nothing sexual or nor a comment on personalities, but what are the major differences in performance and stability between the deep, 5' 6'', and the shallow, 4' 6'', variants? And are there anyother points to be made?

Can't help directly, but can I suggest you also post your query on the Sadler forum at www.mikelucasyachting.co.uk.

The shallow keel is very long and high wetted area. Haven't sailed one but changing a 32 from a drop keel to a deep fin made very significant improvement and I would only recommend a deep fin.
