Wing vs Fin Keel

I agree with Tom3 on this one.It''s what kind of sailing are you wanting to do, not what kind of grounding do you expect.
Another consideration is the wing keel is much more prone to wrapping the anchor rode in a tide verses wind anchorage. An aquaintance of mine has wrapped his wing keel 3 times in the last year.
