Interiors are secondary to actually sailing. Most serious sailors don't
give a fig about what's below as long as it doesn't fill with water and

Only you gay guys don't care.

Although I have been "landlocked" for my sailing for the last 15
years, it is at the home of Valiant Yachts. If there is a more
seaworthy boat built, I have yet to see it. There aint nothing
spartan about those boats. If I were going to sea, balls to the wall,
I would want to be sailing a Valiant.


Poor Ganzy. He's been reduced to screaming about my short sails after failing
to make a single point. Pretty frustrating for him, obviously.

You're barely a weekend cruiser. Your boat is bloated with all kinds

his right mind would let that happen. If you think Cruising World is
the defining magazine about cruising, you're even dummer than I
imagined.

You don't even own a boat, Jon-boy.

ganz, get some sea time and lay off the "virtual" sea time, and then come back
here to talk.

No. Also when you're trying to move around down below.
You don't want a lot of beam. You do want a lot of handholds.

Yep, made the point.
Classy comfortable interiors are of little use at sea.


not when you are sleeping maybe, but rather nice the rest of the time.

ganz, you believe way too much of what you read. get some sea time and back to
tell us what you learned.

Incredibly, amazingly wrong. Real sailors measure themselves
by the journey, not the accomodations. Sure, comfort is nice,
but doing the thing is what counts.

You are quite the moron. Real sailors don't measure themselves by how
uncomfortable they are. They measure themselves by how much they are
enjoying
themselves. Maybe you are so feeble that you need an uncomfortable nights
sleep
to feel like you are facing a big challenge of some sort.

I'm starting to gather that you don't sail outside a protected bay
somewhere in
a pram.

a Dufour 27 has low ports and will bury a "window" at about 7 knots wind speed.

Yep. I find that if I can't move once I'm in the bunk, I'll sleep fine. I've
awakened a couple of times to see window under water.

Dayhopping down the coast doesn't count.
Try sailing to a decent destination and see how much use you get from
your fancy interior on the way.
Two, three, or 6 days at sea will soon convince you that real sailors
have little use for traditional creature comforts.



I like my bedding to be warm and dry. Isn't that a creature comfort?

Cheers MC

Yep, but still it's difficult to sleep in a normal bunk without
additional padding.
My most comfortable sleeping has been done in a sleeping bag on a pipe
berth.

Go to any sal****er marina and you will find plenty of more seaworthy boats
than a Valiant. Valiant is a huge marketing success but it is generally
considered by knowledgeable, scientifically trained sailors to be about a knot
and half slower for its size and design than it should be. Salty looking boat,
though, and that does have market appeal.

Bob Perry would say different, but then Bob has publicly called me an asshole,
but Bob has also publicly stated that he has struggled with math all his life,
a statement on his part that I do not doubt.
