Midlife...I sailed out of Broad Creek/Stingray for over 20 years. I also hear that the shoaling in the exit channel needs attention again. While I entered and exited with up to 6 ft. of draft in the past...I would shoot for 5 ft. as a goal but not reject a boat with up to 5.5 feet of draft.
Once you are out of the channel, eve a 6 ft. draft is not unduly restrictive on most of the Bay. The ideal boat IMHO for pure bay sailing AND performance would be a centerboarder, lightweight construction, and with a tall sloop masthead rig. Something like Jeff H likes! (G)
