B- Most East Coasters simply don't know how to care for their boats. C- The best built boats are from the West Coast. D- East Coasters must contend with horrible boating conditions. E- All of the above. -- Skipper |

The only possible answer would be D. When and where did you last splash your

E- All of the above. quite beyond the fact that this is an obvious troll, the simple truth is that east coast designed boats are much tougher, more pleasing lines and dont look like ersatz trawlers or tug boats. id put a davis design, or a zimmerman, or hinckley or just about any other east coast design up against those tubs you pretend are -cruisers- anyday IMO, you are incorrect on two points. The thread is not a troll, and the ersatz East Coast designs of Fexas et al. do not hold a candle the timeless beauty of Monk, Garden, Leishman, and Peterson designs. -- Skipper |

And BTW, while we're discussing "cruisers", do you truly think Zimmerman and Davis design better cruisers than those from Leishman? If so, think again. -- Skipper |

Thanks for the kind remark about the magazine. We hit 180 pages this issue, probably the thickest in our 41 year history. Glad you found something informative in there. Horrible riding catamarans? Been out on one? I think the ride is one of their top attributes, at least in our local waters where a moderate but steep chop seems to be an ever present reality. I know that tales of running into head seas at full (and reltively fast) cruising speed with no sign of splashing, slamming, or water on the foredeck sound incredible- but I've been there, done that, and wrote the T-shirt. But fear not- I'm just now taking a quick break from a write up about the new Meridian 391. Went out for a short cruise this morning. I've got to finish this afternoon because the Canadian magazine goes to press this weekend, but I'll soon have a report about a good ol' traditional monohull for everybody to pick apart, cuss, and discuss. :-) |

Actually, from a guy who made an interesting remark about a month ago involving "the diamond business", the context of which revealed his thinly veiled anti-Semitism. Deliver him here. I'll take him fishing. He won't come back. He's the worst kind of troll. |
