No, but the boat I'm looking at DOES show up for wednesday nights
occasionally!

Makes a great committee boat......

Cheers,

Probably, but it also races. In New England they rate about 220.
Maxdope's Sea Slug 34 is two feet longer, weighs 7500 pounds LESS, and
would rate 192. The Westsail, incidentally, also has a higher
theoretical hull speed than Maxdope's boat. My present 27 foot boat
would also sail circles around poor Maxdope, and his under-canvassed
imitation Cape Dory, despite the rather large size difference.

Oh but for the opportunity to embarrass you and make you eat those words.
Fortunately I'll likely never have to meet you vis-a-vis. I'm sure I
wouldn't like you in the least. But I'd love to show you just how
completely ignorant and comical you are.

Your tiny budget boat couldn't catch my yacht on any point of sail in any
wind condition. I've sailed against 30' C&Cs and left them well behind.
It's doubtful your toy POS could stay within reading distance of my transom
moniker for more than a mile or so.

Feel free to make PHRF ratings your personal god, but be advised that false
gods impress only the ignorant and inexperienced.
