A Swan? Probably not. But a Shannon, sure. Shannons are very nice but they're
not museum quality, like Little Harbors and Hinckley's.

Our Hunter 19 was greatly admired & praised one day a few years back, by the owner
of a ~ 50' Oyster. I had helped with his dock lines, and then later said hello to
him from our cockpit as he was walking ashore. My wife, friendly soul, struck up a
conversation with him & invited him aboard. She had no idea he was from the
capital-Y Yacht at the end of the pier! But we had a cup of coffee in our small
cabin and discussed sailing & cruising.

One comment he made I remember verbatim: "You could go *anywhere* in this boat!"
Kinda ironic, isn't it? Of course we were discussing draft at the time....
