Here is a link to the Westsail 28', lot of Blue Water for reasonable price?

As noted several times, most will choose the one we own:

Fast, safe, good looking, VERY comfortable, and easy to doublehand:

It doesn't usually work that way with women!

Maybe you need to look at the elapsed times for the GB 62 in the 2008 Chicago Mac? LOL

Always liked the Macintosh, lovely boat.

Is that a bear on the foredeck?

I think it's a crewman who disobeyed Capt. Merlin

When a wizard says "bring me a beer", you should bring beer promptly.

Thanks,

That's actually one of our 2 Samoyeds. The Admiral rescued them 8 years ago. We were supposed to have them for the weekend. That worked out rather poorly...

Boat came with the name - and we just couldn't change it. Too many people knew the boat...

For so many reasons, a Peterson 44 or 46 is by far the best. In a marina they are like a houseboat, out at sea they are like wildcats.

Or you could look at the elapsed times for the Brisbane to Gladstone 09 where the LAST multi home - a very comfortable and safe Seawind 1160 arrived at the line almost spot on with two local well sailed and highly regarded MUMM 36s. And in a broad reach race - the seawind wasn't even carrying a spinnaker - (the seawind got 3rd on Handicap) and was easily the most comfortable ride in the fleet.

Bloody excellent comparison I thought.

I'll vote for Cambria 44/46. We've just has ours for a summer, but I did a lot of research before taking the plunge. She's delightful.

My previous boat used to be the bes. Now my current boat has taken it's place.

For my money and best bang for the buck would be the "Mighty" Flicka....

I kind of like the hard chined Colvin boats, I prefer gaff rig, and engines are too costly, but I would definitely buy into the harem notion .....
