Should I buy a Tayana, Beneteau, Hunter or something else ?
Skip all of them. Get a Catalina.

First I wanted to buy a Tayana Vancouver 460 because I like the pilothouse design. Then I went to look at some Beneteaus with cast iron keels and this made me worry about Tayana's fiberglass keel getting damaged if I go island hopping in the South Pacific or sail to my Lanta Island property. Then today I talked to a Hunter salesman and he said that lead keels are the best because they can absorb energy if I hit something and are easier to repair than fiberglass. If you were in my position would you just go ahead and get a Tayana and not worry too much about the keel ? I need to have 3 sleeping cabins and would like a boat that can be set up for singlehanded sailing. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Talk to Jim, if he gets back alive. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
