Any yeas, nays, comments on an Irwin 42 center cockpit ketch? Thanks Gordon Irwins are one of those boats you swear on or swear at. I've always found them cheap beyond belief, but others who seem to know their stuff say they are well built. Beats me. |

A friend of mine owned a big Irwin 53 ketch back in the mid 90s. His rudder broke while sailing north in the Gulf Stream one year, and they had to be towed 200 miles into Norfolk, VA by the coast guard. Other than that it seemed like a fairly solid boat. |
