Sos, I was just like you... I thought if I were to pay that much, I would buy a humongous Sunreef,
Lagoon or even a FP (Galathea 65). But then again, I discovered several things that made me fall in love with GB's :
1. Low boom - I just can't think of the horror of reducing the
sails in a storm at 2 a.m. while dangling 7 feet from the flybridge
2. Speed - Let's face it, if it was not important, every car in the market would have 3 cylinder 1.1 liter engines.
3.
Cabin space - I noticed that the owners
cabin is still big and comfortable and having gigantic cabins for the guests mean only one thing, the annoying ones will stay longer!
4. Forward dual wheels - Say anything you want, staying inside and sipping your coffee on your watch during a cold rainy night worths a million alone!
5. Working
cockpit - Again, never fearing a
single second for your life while handling all the lines, come on, you've gotta love this...
Long story short, I know that every sailor will love their boats no matter what they are (just like marrying!!!) however, this doesn't make the ultra hot super model any less super or less hot...
