[Rhodes22-list] Minimum mooring depth ??

[Michel Meltzer]

You should be alright, but any water can get drained by wind. How much
protection from waves do you have??? the one thing you do have to watch
out for is high tide, what will happen you leave the centerboard down,
the tide will drop and the board will get push up insured of rolled up,
very bad news
