HEY! You left out me and my Siedlemann 30. I'm so hurt.


Hey, you made me feel bad about it a couple of days ago, so you're off
the list!

Siedlemann 30
A Vastly underrated boat that has been wrongly compared to US Yachts
and Bayliner. If Siedlemann was guilty of anything it was in joining
the me-too market rather than designing more notable alternatives. The
30 competes well enough with a Catalina 30 and while it does little
better, it might actually present with fewer problems over the years.
Because of it's lack of marketing these boats are often available at a
3rd of the cost of a Catalina 30 and it's hard to argue their relative
value at that point. Owners with less cash often take a risk with these
boats and end up pleasantly surprised that a harsh market
interpretation was based on hearsay rather than facts and experience.
