Both are beauties! Perhaps the question to answer is......2 sticks or 1?

What is the difference in upwind performance between the shoal scheel keel and the deep draft?

What do you think of a 28 HP Volv on a C 37?

From what our broker told me, Bill Crealock had sailed them both and came to the conclusion that they point almost exactly the same, but the Scheel Keel slips just a little more leeward, a short tack or so. He also had done the righting moments, and if I remember correctly, the Scheel Keel had a slightly larger righting moment than the regular keel. This is due to while being less deep, the lead is concentrated proportionately lower to develop the shape, and results in just a little more moment. But in general, they were small differences.
