Please qualify your choices with fully founded, and no doubt, highly subjective arguments based on well thought out personal opinion (and hopefully experience). Let the opionions fly. Why are you insisting on "offshore" in the title, but then simply say "favorite cruising boat" in the body? *The truth is that the vast majority of cruising is done in boats that are not generally considered good offshore boats. Although I certainly wouldn't argue with the criteria, I find it interesting the Eddy and Duff don't make an offshore boat, they specialize is dinghies and daysailers. *As seaworthy as a Stone Horse may be, it still isn't an offshore boat. And of course, my boat, a PDQ 36 catamaran, is the ideal cruising boat, although I don';t think of it as an offshore boat.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Sure, why not. Coastal cruising boats are welcome as well. Just qualify what kind of cruising your choice is suitable for (in your opinion). I personally am more interested in offshore capable boats. Regards |
