One of the docks (Penrose Point, WA.) we used to stay at a lot with our old C22 swing keel gets very shallow at low tide. I've seen Fin keel boats leaning against the dock at low tide, and I'm wondering if there's any danger of damage to the boat beyond possible scratches in the glass if you don't place your fenders right. Bottom is sand/ mud.

<font face='Comic Sans MS'><font size=2>Doug – I have seen sailors in Florida lay their boats over at low tide on purpose to work on or clean the bottom but I would be worried about lateral stress on the fiberglass where the hull meets the keel. </font id=size2></font id='Comic Sans MS'>
