Not really. I love the Shearwater 45's lines, but there are better
boats. If I'm going to spend $400,000, that is. Why, I could buy a
Saga 43 or 48...probably an excellent sailing machine, but if I wanted
a shuttlecraft I would've joined Starfleet, right? G
At the end of the day, you've got to love the boat you are going to
live aboard. That means (to a point), the "look" has to appeal on some
level. There are a LOT of "pretty" boats out there today, but not so
many that will increase your odds of living out a bad blow. If all
else is equal, why not go for the prettier boat?
Now, if J-Boats did proper cruisers...aaahh...that would be great!
