lucky? I'd certainly take a Prout 37 over any of them. Would you
cross in a Hunter 36?


I wouldn't cross in anything that hadn't been taken out and sailed
hard in nasty coastal weather to find the weak spots. There is an
incredible confidence in the boat that comes from going out and
breaking a few of the undersized bits by pushing hard in ways you
never would on a passage.
