Practical Sailor would have been merciless if they'd been forced to review one. Personal opinion: a Bayliner tag would have been a step up from what I saw. Didn't help that the new owners didn't have enough of a clue to put an anchor out before their powerless and sail-less boat drifted into shallow water. Our friends, the towboat operators that pulled them in, were less charitable. Looking at the boat, my opinion was that it was at best a motor sailor, and the engine was so marginal that it wouldn't do that well. Sorry if I offend any Buccaneer owners, but you'll understand if you sail against us any afternoon. You don't want to compare yourself with us under power, as we put many larger boats to shame. -- Jere Lull Xan-a-Deux ('73 Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD) Xan's Pages: http://members.dca.net/jerelull/X-Main.html Our BVI FAQs (290+ pics) http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
