Bob I believe you stated they would be equal in displacement in regards to
race crew weight vs cruise weight. I think Ole Thom corrected you about that assumption. CM "Bobsprit" wrote in message ... | Aparently you didn't pay much attention. There's no way a J30 set to cruise | for a week is going to outperform one that's ready to race. | | Never said that it would. | | RB |

race crew weight vs cruise weight. I think Ole Thom corrected you about that assumption. Nope. Not at all. People carry a lot or a little when they cruise. Doug is doing little more than guessing at what cruising gear and supplies might weight. My ONLY point was that the J30 or Express 30 are still "performance" boats compared to cruisers like the Nordic, even when loaded down for a cruise. RB |

I guess that would depend on your comfort level for a week's cruise and how
many people go cruising with you. I often took 5 or 6 people out on Overproof for a week long cruise. 6 people on a Nordic 30 for a week-long cruise? bwahahahahahahahahahaha! RB |

That ain't nothin'. I once transported 83 Cubans from Habana to
Key West in and on my 27-footer. S.Simon - a cove strip sailor "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message ... My record aboard for a full day sail was 22 people and gear with a keg of draught tied to the front of the mast.... I was 2 inches above the W/L. :-) A 3 week trip I took saw 5 people and $2800 worth of booze..... plus two kickers and towing two inflatables. ;-) |
