PHRF-LO lists the 30-1 draft at 5', and the shoal draft version at 4' 2".
Though the manufacture's displacement specs are usually optimistic, the shoal draft version is claimed to be 500 or 600 pounds heavier. I would guess that the extra weight, possibly extra waterline, is not as much of a handicap downwind as upwind. In light air there is not much leeway, the deep keel should be better than a shoal draft keel but there may not be much difference. In moderate air the deep keel is suppose to generate more lift with less leeway, but also has more drag. > So I don't point as high, but I do make good time to the weather mark.
