We're interested in how the boats SAIL, not their relative
marketing strategies.


Wrong again, Doug. And this just backs up everything I've said about
you. The original question was about any advice positive or negative
and how they stand up to sea conditions. Bart's opinion, while less
than educated, was just fine. My opinion was based on being aboard the
newer 1st series boats. I also let the fellow know that resale might be
something to look into with a major builder vs. one less known. Where's
the bad advice, Doug?
You gave NOTHING because you knew nothing. You haven't been aboard
these boats, but my small response still bugged you because it was more
than you knew. Luckily I had the good sense to send him away from here
to an area where he can speak to owners and folks who have sailed the
boat. Again, more useful than anything you contributed.
Oh, and guess what, Doug? I still own a nicer sailboat than you and I
ALWAYS will. A liveaboard is next for us (When Thomas is five) and you
can bet my wife would never want a trawler.
