Hi Ron, That is a little encouraging. I know there is a C&C 41 for sale at
the marina where I kept Lolita. It drew over 7 feet and they modified the keel
to shorten it and attached a bulb to put the weight back on. I figured if they
were concerned enough to go that kind of trouble, there had to be a reason...
The Viking Drew almost 6' and I got into many places with little issue. I had
a couple soft groundings on shoals but nothing really hung us up. That extra
1'-3" has me a bit concerned... Danny

Danny,
I have a 37+ with a 7’3” draft which I keep in Bristol, RI. So far
it has been no problem in Narragansett Bay, Block Island Cuttyhunk, Vineyard
Haven & Edgartown. I sail with a friend in a J/30 out of Red Brook Harbor.
That’s a little tight and if I brought my boat there, I’d look for
either a really calm, clear day and/or favorable tide.
As far as the deep keel, the boat is extremely stable and rides well in rough
water. With 10’ waves going around Cape May, it did very well.
Good luck on your choice.
Regards,
Ron

Subject: Stus-List C&C 37plus Draft
Hi Guys,
I've got a 37plus on my radar but the draft is 7'-3" I think that may be a bit
too deep, I don't think I'd be able to stay where I kept the Viking and I do
like that location. I also think it may limit some harbors out on the the
islands in and around buzzard's bay...
Would anyone have any comments about the deep draft and it limitations around
Cape Cod, south coast and the islands?
