I originally put this question ion the wrong forum, my mistake.

I was helping a friend load his 250 wing keel. He stated it had a 41" draft. I really thought he was mistaken because the earlier wing keels 89 and back have a draft of 2'10". Could someone tell me why the later models have a larger draft? Are the newer models better in terms of stability? or do they carry more sail?

Thanks
Greg

According to Catalina Yachts, the C250 wing keel has a draft of 3'5" (41").

Greg,

I noticed that on another forum you said you were considering a C25 WK so I assuming you are trying to compare the C25 and C250. Right?

The C25 and C250 are two distinctly different boats, so a side by side comparison can't really be done. As to why the later models have a deeper draft, this I'm sure has to do with the many calculations required when designing a new hull from the ground up.

Don,

Thanks. I was trying to compare the C25 wing keel to the C250 wing keel. I guess what you are saying we are not talking apples to apples.

Thanks
Greg

Correct...it is not apples to apples, but more like Catalina Cherry's to Sea Grape's.
