Lipari 41: Lipari 41 vs. Leopard 39

[jonarck]

Hi, Everyone

My wife and I will be buying a cat next year when we move to West Palm Beach, and we're down to the Lipari 41 and Leopard 39. We hope to see and sail the Lipari and L39 during our vacation in August (and to decide between the two). We bought our current boat (1997 Catalina 34) new and never regretted it.

We'd appreciate hearing from those of you who had/have the same decision to make so that we can learn about your experience and thought process. If you also could give us some information on your broker or dealer in Southern Florida and how the buying process went, including dealing with the factory (we'll treat it as confidential), you can write to us at jonarck@kelarc.com, if you prefer.

Thanks,
Jon
