Oh, now I understand why you're afraid to sail the Chessy.

When we bought Chanteuse we had no idea we would ever be leaving Lake
Michigan and its feeder lakes, which are all deep water...even when the
lake levels drop, the water is nowhere near as skinny as down here...but
that's ok...we like our boat and like the way she sails...we don't like
heavy old cruisers like Catalinas and would never consider a Hunter of
that size...and Mr Sails is not a fan of any full keel boat...so...we
just make sure we have the alarm set on the depth gauge and watch the
charts...or take along someone who knows where the shoals are!

Hey steady now Kathy! My S&S 38 is a sleek performance machine... (even
though we only use it as a cruiser) :-)

I should have qualified that..the older Catalina 38 is by far the best
boat they ever made...too bad they changed the design to a real clunkoid....

Almost any of the big six, late model, production boats are style over
substance. It's a shame but it's a fact. All of them from about 1990
onward are a waste of space. It demonstrates how ignorant the sailboat
buying public has become. They buy a boat as if it were a new dress. "I
look really good in this dress." That's what it's come to. Men who buy a
boat like a woman buys a dress. Every time somebody says to them, "Nice
boat," they swell up like a puffer fish. Never mind the fact the person
making the comment knows nothing other than lots of windows and a shine
on the plastic is what a boat's all about.
