I owned a full keeled "easily tracked" boat. Thing couldnt sail or motor out of its own way otherwise. ..designed by the grandson of the "Godfather" of designers too.
Give me a well designed fin/spade combination like my C & C 40-2 any day offshore. She has proven herself time and time again as easily balanced and the therefore easily tracked in ocean gales.

Boat is located on Shelter Island a short sail away. My friend had a 1978 Shannon 28. Based on the year this is probably a very early hull for the 38. Shannon's are high quality offshore boats designed for distance cruising. They are relatively slow and don't point well but are designed to sail in heavy weather. The boat is a modified full keel. It will be more sea kindly and track better than a C&C and is more comparable to a landfall. They go for high prices and were substantially more expensive than a C&C. Jerry 27 V J&J.
