I came close to buying a Nordica 27

That would be the Halman 27... nice boat with very similar lines. Different
keel design and slightly different interior. It would have afforded you a
better vessel for your situation.... you would of had a real cruiser
instead of a coastal fin keeler customized for offshore sailing.


Yeah, "customized" by hammering a water pipe into the boom, wrapping
masking tape around the plumbing joints, and other similar wonderful
modifications.
