Actually, before the Nonsuch I had a Paceship Eastwind. Not an Alberg, but a
similar design. Before that I raced IODs, and a mess of dinghies. I suppose
some might say I've gone downhill.

The thought of a trawler is attractive if we do ICW cruising again. But I'd get
a powercat, like the PDQ MV34.

Then I'd have to get a small, personal cruiser, like a Nonsuch 22 or 26.

And, as my daughter says, "Oh, the Huge Manatee!"

A well trimmed boat will be the boat with max forward motion with min
amount of heel! ALWAYS!!


This is not rationonal, since some heel and resulting extended WL is an
intended function of a given design. It's not an "evil" but a known factor
that
designers considered and worked with. Calling heel "evil" would be like
calling
wetted surface "mean."
