Wow- that's really loaded! According to the original drawings, when sitting on the waterline it should draw 19.25". So much for science. jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Jenkins" <tjenk@gte.net> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Saturday, July 04, 2009 11:31 AM Subject: M_Boats: draft
Folks, It might be useful to know a boat's draft under various conditions, so I did some measurements, and wonder if others' estimates are in the same ballpark. Fully-loaded (and I mean fully) for two weeks on saltwater, the keel reached down about 27" (presumably 42" with the centerboard down). My IdaSailor rudder sticks down another foot, for a total draft of 54".
