Shiloh?
We knew the owner's once removed who bought her new....

No. Shiloh is on the hard at her owner's house, looking rather neglected.
She's not been in the water in two years or more, while the owner has built
his gorgeous home just outside Whitehall.

This Bayfield 40 was bought last year by some friends who found her in
Traverse City. Shiloh has a black hull, this boat is white with blue sheer
and boot stripes.

Oh how too bad...I love Shiloh...when the original owners put her up for
sale, I was sad i didn't hae the dollars to buy her...and I do know from
having sailed in fleet with her that she performs like the one you just
sailed on....but she sure don't point.....

No, she doesn't. But that's why cruising sailboats have substantial
auxiliaries. She'll do 8kts. at 2600rpm into 3' waves with a comfortable
ride. IIRC Shiloh had roller main and mizzen sails, tanbark to boot. And
the current owners installed a bow thruster several years ago.

Yeah...I remember when they bored the holes in her hull but I guess it beats
ramming her up agasinst the dock every time you land...that dolphin striker
has seen a lot of strikes....
