GL: Maximum draft

[jonathan olenick]

be sure you have a good kedge anchor ready to go, with line to a stout sheet winch, and ready means to deploy the anchor and heel the boat (remember your mast will be down). We use an FX 23. Jon.

Greetings.

I'm new on this list and am planning a partial great loop trip next year,
hopefully on the Erie Canal.  I have ordered some of the guides and hoping
this list can help me get started in the mean time.
First, on the boat will be me and my 3 children, 2 adult men and a teenage
girl.  We have a sailboat, a ketch, with a seven foot draft.  I see the NY
canal web site says draft is 12 feet or 14 feet, but I wonder if there are
shoals that would stop us.  If, say the Erie canal is shoaled, is there
another deeper route possible?  I suppose I have a lot more questions, but
first need to know if the boat can do it.
