Such a sloppy cast... I shouldn't bite really.. but I like you so....

Mooron bought a Nordic 30. He is clearly bought into all the full keel
crap created by sorry owners of such boat. For most sailing conditions
a fin keel boat is faster and more fun of course. Full keel boats are
nearly gone from production now for that very reason. We can assume
that Mooron is someone who listens to hype and ignores hard numbers.

Not at all the way it went Bobsprit.... I just didn't like fin keelers at
all. I sailed both types many times prior to deciding I much preferred the
full keelers. The 38 Cabo Rico I sailed for a month in the Bahamas settled
the matter. There was no hype nor info where I was living at the time..
Yellowknife. Most of the sailboats there were fin keelers. My friends prefer
sailing on my boat due to it's design and well mannered behaviour. It's way
more comfortable and can easily handle the worst of gales we are subject to
up there. It can easily carry the supplies for an extended trip and has no
problem keeping pace with much larger fin keelers.

But the best is that it's got beautiful lines, it has grace and power under
sail ....and it's not a cheap white plastic knock-off that looks like
every other boat in the bay... you know.. like your C&C 35s5! :-)
