| Good for you, Mooron! How many boats have you owned? I don't recall if you
had
| other boats prior.

18 ft Single Hand Dory - Row Boat - 16 years old
30 ft Cape Islander - Fishing Boat - 17 years old
42 ft Northumberland Straits Lobster Boat - 19 years old
20 ft Nordica - Sloop - 34 years old
30 ft. Nordica - Sloop - 37 years old

I knew it was my last boat when I first saw her in the yard.

Between boats I crewed and sailed as many different types of vessels as
possible. I found chartering a unique way to access various designs while
offering substantial time to assess the vessel in a variety of situations.

If you have the opportunity... try a Cabo Rico 38. I had one chartered for 3
weeks in Eluthra, Bahamas. We sailed the Exuma Cays. A truly spectacular
vessel, quick and well built.

Cabo Rico builds a great boat, but "quick" isn't one of their qualities, not
by contemporary standards anyways.

This summer I got to take the wheel of quite a few boats, Tayana 48, Shannon
38, Gemini 105, C&C 41....all new boats to me. I also sailed a few others in
North Carolina including a Hobie 18 and something called a Beneteau 21, which
I've seen many times but never sailed until recently.
Sailing various designs is great fun and you're right: Best way to find what
you like.

That's funny. While sailing today someone else was suggesting that boat to
Suzanne. Pricey boat, but beautiful.

You've never been on a Cabo Rico 38.... then of course that's evident.

Express 30?? Good Grief!

Your opinion might hold some merit... if you didn't own the sailing
equivalent of a Lada.
