Scheel keel
You might take this request to the Tartan email list, where I expect many Tarten 33/34 owners might share their experience with such keels.
IMHO, the advantages related to tracking and grounding seem unlikely to be material differences from deep keel models. If you need under 5'' draft, this keel design delivers that with the drawback you note. If you don''t require shallow draft, get a real keel - I personally would find it dispiriting to have similar or lesser boats slide by to windward when beating out of port! Enough to darken the brightest of sunny days! Don''t give up that performance unless you must.
