Best 34 foot blue water cruiser
There's no substitute for length ... if you want to be
even halfway comfortable offshore. JAXAshby wrote: unless, of course, you have to change out a 600 square foot mainsail or 800 foot genoa in building sea and wind conditions. That's when skill & forethought, and having the proper equipment in the first place, come into play. unless, of course, your back is wrenched from hauling up the 45# anchor and 300# of chain by hand because the windlass battery crapped out. That's when proper design, installation, and preventative maintenanc come into play. unless, of course, you are short of bux and worrying because you spent the wad on a BIG boat. Whatsamatta Jax, you hate everybody that can afford a bigger & nicer boat than you? Clearly you don't think ahead enough to realize that many of these types of problems can be avoided by thinking ahead. But that doesn't mean it applies to everybody. DSK |
