Fritz from Annapolis Boat Show

I've been here four days. Keep looking at the same four boats over and over again. The front runners are:

Caliber 46
Valiant 42 (really a 40)

Regarding another boat we're looking at, what does the group think about deck-stepped masts? One of the boats that I'm looking at has this, and the owners of the company swear that it's a better design for structural strength, which is counter intuitive to a non-engineer like me. Comments about this would be appreciated.
