An irwin is still better than a Siedleman or Mac and probably some
Lancers.

yeaaaahhhh.

I know boatyards that will not haul a Mac (or old wooden boats for that
matter), and don't like to haul a Siedleman, but will haul most anything else.
I specifically asked about a Siedleman because I knew of two available (one
abandoned in a yard, the other a repo). The Siedlemans seemed to look to be
okay sailors, but I understand they can have structural issues when on jack
stands.

don't know. not sure I have ever seen one. Did St Tom to NYC non-stop on a 52
foot such last spring but don't know much about how strong that boat was as we
never saw winds much about 40 knots, and even that wasn't all that many hours.

How long did it take? Much motoring?

12 days, about 70 hours of motoring, including all that through NY Harbor.

That's because Neal worked at the Irwin factory. A Coronado was a big =
quality leap for him.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaaa!!!

Come on, Mooron, isn't this a little beneath you? I mean, where is
your self respect? Making fun of Irwin owners is too much like
shooting the pigeons in the park.
