Dream boat = nightmare boat, especially when the eyes
are bigger than the stomach and the dream is based upon
magazine articles and/or other forms of mass ignorance.


It was a nightmare but I understood that at the price he paid LH for a
keel up custom boat he had reasonable expectation of good engineering,
good production and therefore a good result.

I crewed on an 85' sailing yacht which was enormously complex but
engineered / designed for easy access to all systems. So when things
went awry, which wasn't that common, they were easily, quickly and
cheaply addressed.

That's proper design.
