Here's a newer one, with out a flybridge: http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi...63&slim=quick& But, a flybridge is a nice place to be. Consider the added flexibility. snipage Whoa! LOL That's quite a bit out of my price range. Basicly I am leary of the extra windage of a flybridge. Great for close quarters manuvering though. I've been looking at the 30' Willards but still favor a sailing vessel. I have to do it on the cheap and plan to spend a lot of time at sea so a sailboat is my main focus. (fuel costs being my primary concern) I watch power boats as well just out of an occasional sense of pessimism in case my health isn't up to a sailboat when I'm ready to do this. I'm taking care of my Dad now so timing is up in the air. ) Mark E. Williams PS...The Fales Carib has a sliding door on the port side. You're not thinking the 30' Fales Carib is a sailing vessel are you? As in " I have to do it on the cheap and plan to spend a lot of time at sea so a sailboat is my main focus. (fuel costs being my primary concern) A trawler with a steadying sail doth not a "sailboat" make....unless your destination was downwind, and good fresh gale was blowing, I don't think that boat could "sail" anywhere.... good luck in any event.....
