Spartina 23 . Taking the ground

[kieronriley]

Hi ang good evening all,I wonder does anyone out there know if a Spartan 23 fisher takes the ground ok, from what I can see it should sit on its keel band which is deeper than the rudder and the prop , but would be really grateful for any information you may have from personal experience, thanks.

If sat in deep soft mud will sit ok
If on harder ‘stuff’ She will lean over at quite an acute angle
Unless the boat has been modified with bilge keels of a decent size
Yes, get what you say re the keel ‘protecting’ the stern gear etc
Not really designed to take the ground
