Default No Test Sail for Doug, the King of Keels!


Every boat is different. Sailing a "sister ship" only gives one a fuzzy

picture of what another boat is like. Fine for general impressions, but
not
worth much instead of a sea trial.




BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I've sailed 3 Pearson 30's, 3 35s5's, 2 J30's, 3
J24's and so on. They all had identical handling and performance with
small variations due to dirty bottoms and sails. Fuzzy picture? Oh,
OKAY!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! Good lord!
