ISO fresh water shoal draft

Post by sailrmann »

I just lost the rig on my C&C35 mark 1 and decided to replace that boat with a J/109. I must have the shoal draft to fit into my marina in lean water years. Please let me know if you have/hear of one for sale.

regards,

Hi Bob,
Very good call on the 109. I would urge against the shoal version. My understanding is GLYC should be able to accommodate even in lean water years, at least, I hope so, because we plan to move there with our 109 asap. Either way, happy to chat about the 109 and keep my ears open for 109s for sale.

I didn't realize how challenging it would be to find a shoal draft 109. Switching to a deep draft. I was told GLYC has had 7' draft boats for a while so 'shouldn't' be an issue.
