I'm struggling to understand the huge differences in draft on what I'd consider to be similar full displacement trawlers. I've recently been lusting over a SeaSpirit Queenship and its draft is listed at under 5 feet. I took a look at a similar sized Seaton trawler and its draft was over 9ft! All other things being equal it appears a Nordy has significantly more draft than a KK. And for reasons that really perplex me a KK with twins drafts a foot less than a KK with a single (I do understand why there might be some savings in draft but a foot??)
All other things being equal, are boats with more draft inherently more stable?
I'm obsessed with draft because I envision a significant amount of our boating to be in the Bahamas.
Thanks as always!
