It's a sailing boat, Donal. Enjoy it! Don't answer each and every
cristical
view on it. My latest boat is better

I thought that you still had Alien??

We're only weeks away from closing the deal on the 34XL. We won't actually
get
her, nor make closing payment until Dec. of next year. But, barring my
death,
she'll be ours!

So, you admit that your latest boat is *not* better?

My "current" boat, a C&C 32 is a better boat than any first series Beneteau.
It's better built by a siginificant margin and I've been aboard examples of
both. Your boat falls below Catalina in build quality.
The only thing you could do is to sell her and buy a better boat that "might"
be the equal of a C&C. C&C was one of the better production boat builders and
retains a strong reputation shared by few others. Tartan, Pearson, IP, Sabre,
J-Boat and a others are also in there. Beneteau, Catalina, Ranger, O'Day and
Hunter are elswhere on the graph. Not "bad"boats, but a C&C either.
And that's a fact.
