Hi,
I have an opportunity to buy a Long Mico in excellent shape. My
biggest question is, "will it take continual grounding without damage
to the keel and hull?" I have to put the boat on a mooring and the
mooring goes dry twice a day (like in the UK). I live on the west
coast of Florida and we have redefined "Thin water!"
