I would be interested to know what the keel shoe has done for others - pro and con for performance and stability. When I bought mine I heard of this and wondered if it would be a good investment. 3 seasons later I'm happy with the boat and feel no urgency to add the shoe. BTW we're not in a light wind area. We get just about everything for conditions on west side of Georgian Bay.

If you sail in predominantly light wind area you will love the boat. Check out the stability diagram and the sailing calculator on Stu's site under technical info for more information and boat comparisons. http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/ Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS _____ _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
