Oh how too bad...I love Shiloh...when the original owners put her up for
sale, I was sad i didn't hae the dollars to buy her...and I do know from
having sailed in fleet with her that she performs like the one you just
sailed on....but she sure don't point.....


No, she doesn't. But that's why cruising sailboats have substantial
auxiliaries. She'll do 8kts. at 2600rpm into 3' waves with a comfortable
ride. IIRC Shiloh had roller main and mizzen sails, tanbark to boot. And
the current owners installed a bow thruster several years ago.
