I never mentioned BLUE WATER friendly.....as i said no flames please
and by the way blue water friendly means to me at least a boat that does
not get green over the coach roof in 10 or 12 foot sea's.spray water
runoff and the odd foamer down the deck yes but not green water.

Gordon ! after sailing a rl24 for 3 years in many differant sea's (ocean
and sheltered ) i will think the 34 will seem like a rock to me :-)
32deg 00min 29.56 sec south
115deg 39min 58.66sec east is my play ground

Shaun,
I am in the process of buying a 1981 37 foot hunter cutter

rigged but it has

a shoal keel, don't know much about sail boats yet have

only ever had power

boats before. I was told that the early 80's cherubini

design are excellent

quality and design boats, plus the price I'm paying for it

at $25,000.00

with all the accessory's the current seller has added to

make it a more live

aboard comfortable and blue water friendly i don't think I

can wrong with

it. I had the boat surveyed and my surveyor told me the

boat and all the

extra's included make a real good deal and I shouldn't

have any problems

other then a few minor things but that's to be expected He

siad he would

feel comfortable and safe going to the carribean in it as

it sits now so I

think I'm gonna be ok with it. I have heard that the later

80's models had

some problems so You might want to consider only looking

at the early 80's

models.
