It may seems like a stupid question, but bear with the rookie.
I am moving Calypso to Virginia. I was looking at possibly a small and rather cheap boatyard/marina (Mobjack Bay Marina, Mathews, VA), but located in shallow waters. The dockmaster had told me that the boat may sit on its keel during the winter lowest tide when the water height is then 4 ft. He said it was soft mud, so beside being stuck, it shouldn't be a problem if I am ok for not going sailing when that happens.
Now, because of the particular hollow keel of the Morgan 382, was I just inviting problems?
I decided against that marina for that reason, but I am second guessing myself because of the cost savings it would help me make that would go toward the refit of the boat.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Cheers
