Back to the Grampian vs Bayfield beginning.
Having sailed both, one down the ditch, I mailed directly to Mic, the
original poster.
I received two mail watchers replies that his site was not going to be
able to respond to me, because there is "something" wrong there.and my
AV detected it. I went back to the thread and Mic never came back. I am
new to this and neither want to cause a problem or be one.Any comments?

Yep I still participate in the newsgroup, normally that is where you
should post your comments/responses. A sort of "share the knowledge"
puropse and concept of Usenet. Many email address are "munged"
distorted so as to not get farmed and used to spam you with unwanted
email solicitations.

Many contribute to usenet in a positive way. Others just see it as a
place to be nasty. What I havent figured out is if it take more work
to be nasty than nice, why is it that some want to do more
unproductive work? Go figure...

Thats great that you actually sailed a Grampian 26 and been on a
Bayfield 25, both are common and totally different as distinguised by
their rudders and keels, which significantly effect the manner in
which they work best and worst.

I have heard that a B25 circumnavigated, but havent seen any logs or
data as such. The B25 claims to have 3/8 balsa in the vberth, now is
that actually in the hull. The infor that I have is not clear on
that. I know the cabin trunk is balsa cored. But the info. that I
have refers to balsa core somewhere other than in the deck, namely
somewhere else, in particular in the vberth????
