Went to the Grand Rapids Boat Show last night....it's a mixed breed =
show, with tons of power and a paltry representation of sail. We looked =
in particular at a Beneteau 38, a Catalina 38, a Hunter 41, and a Hunter =
35. There sure is a lot of plastic in them thar Hunters...and that =
traveler arch....ugh....ugly. I hate to say it but the Catalina was the =
best boat viewed. Beneteua, my favoritest in the past, has lowered =
their quality. I would not have traded any of the boats viewed for =
Chanteuse. The boat that I actually fell in live with was a Com-Pac =
Picnic Cat.....sweet little thing...pricey, though. Didn't even bother =
looking at the power things...
