Well, they had SOME sailboats. In Detroit they have zip. They have an
outdoor show in the summer with sail, that's all.

Went to the Grand Rapids Boat Show last night....it's a mixed breed show,
with tons of power and a paltry representation of sail. We looked in
particular at a Beneteau 38, a Catalina 38, a Hunter 41, and a Hunter 35.
There sure is a lot of plastic in them thar Hunters...and that traveler
arch....ugh....ugly. I hate to say it but the Catalina was the best boat
viewed. Beneteua, my favoritest in the past, has lowered their quality. I
would not have traded any of the boats viewed for Chanteuse. The boat that
I actually fell in live with was a Com-Pac Picnic Cat.....sweet little
thing...pricey, though. Didn't even bother looking at the power things...
