Great point. Therefore, one should pay more for a boat from a smaller
builder to get the same quality.

Until you move up well beyond Sabres and Tartans and Island Packets,
you're certainly not getting the premium boat you might think. Don't
believe me? Go ask some insurance surveyors who've seen many of these
boats totalled out. Ask THEM how much better a Tartan is than a Hunter.
Tartan owners sure won't like the answer.
