San Diego Kona Kai Marina, Comparing Islander Freeport's water lines - 2012

July 2012 - Kona Kai Marina, San Diego, CA

  While we were out dinging about in our marina we went by two other Islander Freeports. One a 38’ and one a 36’. We noticed their rudders and saw how they sat in the water. It has been a long time since ours (s\v Elegant'sea) sat the high in the water. 
The rudder sticking out of the water that much. 
Now our boat, s\v Elegant'sea, rudder under water!
OK we have a big dingy hanging off the back with outboard on it also :).
Note:
It was a test for our Kato Marine Island Davits that we installed. That dingy that we sold and replaced with an 10'2" Achilles LSI-310E. 
Surprisingly our boat seems to not have any problems with the added weight. Could be it is a bunch slower but we are not in any hurry.
