Years ago I bought a 9.1 at an auction. I was bidding against a broker who
lost. After the sale he told me that the 9.1 was more boat than I could
handle alone and he would graciously trade me even a 9.2c sitting at his
dock. I was curious and went to see it. My immediate reaction was that if I
want to relieve myself and eat, it would have been a great boat. It had a
huge head and the galley was better, but it was not for me. I did some
research at the time and found out that Leon Slikkers had sold Slickcraft to
AMF and was subject to a non-compete agreement. He decided to build
sailboats and while they were very well built, he was panned for building
slow boats. He decided to build a rule beater, hence the 9.1. I sailed that
9.1 for 18 years, sold it this year at a boat show in Boston for what I paid
for it (do not discuss the economics with me; the pleasure was worth it).
Look for a 9.1 if you can find one. The 9.2 will be well built, but it is
not a fast boat.
