My current boat is a 28ft long keel drawing 1.4m with a barn door rudder hung on the end of it and it sits quite happily on a "deep" water mooring with 0.5m at chart datum. At springs it sinks 20 cms or so into softish sand / mud but stays more or less upright unless its a very big tide (chart datum in March and September) by which time the Rustler next to me will on its side. I think it draws 1.68m. At low water its very sheltered and there are no passing boats as the entrance to the channel dries.
How would a Moody 36 or 38 (or equivalent westerly etc) drawing 1.4m fair in the same situation given it only has a partial skeg supporting the rudder?
I've asked the same question on the MOA website last week but havent heard anything
Boat is based in Chichester harbour
