Oh.....I just found this site:

Peter and Jan Whiting are taking the NW 42 down the Pacific Coast.
They're almost to Oregon, and headed to San Diego.

Anybody intersted in how this boat handles in rough weather can check
the blog......this time of year they will have *plenty* of gnarly
weather to deal with. Coastal forecast for Thursday is calling for
sustained winds of 40 knots with higher gusts........("Auntie Em!")


Nice looking boat and interesting design. Interestingly, this is the second
time in the past week that I've heard about articulating rudders. The first
was with a very experienced sailboater and boat builder here at Kingman.

I realize that the NW 42 is a new trawler type boat design but I am not sure
I am ready to accept the radar arch instead of a traditional mast. The
arch is probably more functional and convenient, but it just doesn't look
right to me on this type of boat.
