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

Try taking it out in a 3 or 4 foot beam sea, or try backing it into a
tight slip in a 20 kt crosswind. The dream boat will become a
nightmare in no time at all. It's just a futt bugly dock condo queen
for fair weather sunset cruises. One of my neighbors just sold a
Mainship 37 motor yacht. Same basic concept, 45 feet of boat packed
into a 37 foot LOA thanks to lots of vertical stacking. Also a good
functional design for living at the dock, but totally ugly and totally
unseaworthy.



Well, there are several posters in this newsgroup to whom a wedding cake
boat is appealing, because when they actually own a boat, they don't
leave the dock much, and prefer, instead, to head to the boat for a few
pops, or to run out of the marina to the nearest swimming hole, but only
in fair weather. They like condo queen boats.

Another superb contribution to group harmony by our resident 'on topic' expert.
The thread, started by Chuck, is about *boats*, Harry!.

Chuck, if you've made it this far, please do the Glacier Bay article.
