Mooron doesn't agree. He keeps insisting that his full keeler is the
only way to go.

Goes without saying Bob..... plus my boat has classic lines and doesn't
look like just another "car in the parking lot" like the C&C does.

Let's face it.... there is nothing of note in design nor lines on the
C&C.... From stem to stern it has the character of a margarine
container..... and I don't care how much fancy veneer you put inside that
container.

Now I'm not saying it's a bad vessel... it's not. It seems to suit the type
of sailing you do, you seem to like it..... and that's all that counts.

Now as far as taking that plastic offshore like Doug .... don't think about
it... Doug has wa-a-a-a-a-y-y-y-y-y more experience sailing than you do.

Now to give you perspective... my buddy sailed a 29 Bayfield across the
Atlantic. He ran into a 50+kt gale before making landfall in the Azores.
Although he weathered the storm without too much problems... 2 French
vessels of over 35 ft suffered serious damage and one was dismasted.
