Thanks, Jim. I've sailed on a few Westsails, and I am well aware that they trade
off some speed for comfort. That's not a problem. In this age of racer/cruisers,
it seems that any boat that does not have the "racer" part is considered by many
to be worthless. This is odd, because no one complains about boats that are
built solely to race having no comfort, or being prone to being thrown about in
harsh conditions. This boat is a Cruiser. I have no illusions anbout it being a
speed demon. I think, however, that it sails much better than many detractors
claim. Hyperbole. Built for comfort not speed, as they say. That's okay with me.
If I decide I need to go faster, I can always buy something faster, eh?

The condition of this particular example is one of the main reasons I'm
interested. I wouldn't buy any boat without a professional survey by a surveyor
I know, and my own careful inspection.



Well, get on with it then. As of yesterday, you have about worn out your welcome
with all your vacillation. Either get the damned thing or not. But stop trying to
justify your possible purchase. You are already beginning to sound like JimC and
his mistaken Mac26 purchase and that's simply unacceptable considering you don't
have anything to justify yet.

Paladin,
