Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: 1988 37R Keel Shortening Advice?
Good idea. Buddy of mine bought a Beneteau 47 with a deep keel and had a shoal keel put on. A few weeks later he found a guy with a shoal keel that wanted a deep keel. Bad timing. Dennis C.

Why don’t you two swap keels?

My advice is don't. You're undertaking a considerable project to cruise a boat that was not built to be a cruiser. IMO you'll be happier finding a racer/cruiser boat that fits you needs and sailing grounds. Retain the value of the 37R for someone looking to race. I find my 37+ (tall rig, wing keel) to be tender and frequently wonder if a deeper keel would beneficial. If you insist on proceeding then I would make sure that to modify to the largest torpedo bulb possible and draft to 6 or 6.5 feet.

The 8'1" draw looks like it will cause me some grief with the sailing I want to do along the St. Lawrence River and onward. My plan is to shorten the keel. Does anyone have advice or guidance to offer? Many Thanks, Noah ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and every one is greatly appreciated.
