Doug,

Much thanks!

Although maybe this is not the appropriate place to ask, what other
places would you suggest for chat rooms. Your feedback has been very
helpful.

Over the last two years my wife and I have looked extremely closely at
a J35 and a Catalina 35 but we never made the final move. I'm pretty
sure we're going to act between now and this summer. As the son of a
Cruising Club member and Bermuda racer, I'm trying to find the best of
both worlds.

Being a Red Sox fan, I can't imagine spending the next 10 years on a
NY 40.

Thanks again.
