Folks, It might be useful to know a boat's draft under various conditions, so I did some measurements, and wonder if others' estimates are in the same ballpark. Fully-loaded (and I mean fully) for two weeks on saltwater, the keel reached down about 27" (presumably 42" with the centerboard down). My IdaSailor rudder sticks down another foot, for a total draft of 54". Tom Jenkins 2004 M17 Scintilla
