===============================

It's like sailing. Everyone talks about passage making and crossing
oceans with their sail boat but only about 1% do. It's just good
marketing to appeal to the other 99% and ignore the reality. Besides,
we all know that trawlers are cool looking, right?

I've never understood the appeal of these type boats. It wouldn't be
something that I would buy.

The new Nordic Tugs are just ugly. Gaudy even.
