What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains
and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! ----

Thanks...impressive boat to be sure, but I don't care for the larger
ports...which look to be glued in place (I bet they're not). They give
the boat a somewhat generic look taking her beam on. I'm not sure I
wouldn't pick something a bit more salty looking or sporty at such a
price point.

Funny thing but I've noticed that "salty looking" usually means old-fashioned
and slow. Take a Gozzard or a Cabo Rico, for example. Both are salty but
both are relatively slow. I guess I like the Outbound so much because she
is understated. Could be mistaken for a Catalina at a distance but no
Catalina could even hope to stay with her on an ocean passage nor provide
even a modicum of her seakeeping ability.
