Any yeas, nays, comments on an Irwin 42 center cockpit ketch?
Thanks

I don't know specifically about the 42, but I borrowed a 30 for a
summer some years back and it was the worst built boat I had ever
sailed, bar none. We would joke about which part of it was going to
fall off next, and it was only 8 years old.

I had another friend with a larger Irwin (a 37 maybe?) and he went
through similar problems, though not quite as bad.

Normally I don't bad-mouth other boats, but I'm willing to make an
exception for Irwins.
