Oh, and it's a LOT slower.

Don't forget that on the water a speed contest between two sailboats consists
of 1/3 boat speed, 1/3 crew work and 1/3 driver. In your case your minus
2/3rds.

The Express 30....It's OLD. It's slower. It's smaller. It's an
inexpensive

Buy it's NOT as old, as slow, as small or as inexpensive as YOUR C&C 32. Wamm!

If that's true, then why did you buy a bargain-basement 32? Sucker!

I'd say there's QUITE a few more. $99K will buy a LOT of boat & gear, and most
39 footers are going to be both faster and roomier than 30 and 32 footers.

In case anybody has forgotten, Bubbles is nuts!

As a subscriber I can attest that they DON'T post all of the boats they list
in the magazine. Just out of curiosity, I ran the search for boats 30'-40'
priced from 0-99k and came up with 400. Question is, why would someone want
to buy a boat that they can't sail competitively? My guess I so that they
can sail faster than much slower boats! Like buying a vette and beating AMC
Pacers at stoplight drag races, then bragging about it. I guess Bubbles is
nuts!

John, you're not acting too bright. I need a boat where getting a good night's
sleep is possible and without forcing my wife to sleep in another bunk! VERY
few boats under 40 feet have 7 foot bunks. Now throw in the perormance criteria
and not buying a bloated old boat.
Sorry.

Why, becauase he is actually taking a look at what's on the market before making
announcements about 'the best boat'?

Relatively few boats over 40 feet have 7' bunks. Especially mass-produced boats.

However, it's all out there. If you look hard enough, you'll find.

You mean like a bargain-basement leftover that is actually smaller & slower than
your last 'stepping stone' boat?



Sorry.

Yes, you are, Bubbles.... but mostly you're nuts!

If you were any kind of sailor you'd realize that
you rarely get a good night's sleep even if your berth
is 10 feet long.

Real sailors sleep with one eye open but you wouldn't
know a thing about that would you?

S.Simon - 40 winks, two or three at a time like a real sailor.

aft bunk is WAY too short. Nice boat though.

You're wrong. It's the best cruiser under 10K on the market.
Anything more and you're getting ripped off.
