Whatever is quite a broad category

Have you taken into account global warming?

It really is a simple concept.

You've got a hide calling other posters trolls...

So, where is it written that I must adhere to your ideals/definition of "cruising"?

In my definition of cruising, crew comfort (defined by me) is a requirement, hence AC is a need.

YMMV

It has been officially named as of today at the La Grande Motte 2017 boat show.

She is now called an FP Saona 47

Saona - means a small island off the Dominican Republic with 47km of coastline..

I really like what I see in the FP Soana 47, but the FP Helia 44 Evo was at the top of our budget.

The Helia 44 is actually the perfect size for the type of retirement cruising we plan on doing.

This argument isgetting a little hot. If everyone keeps this up the mods are going to shut the thread down.

The 47 looks like quite a beast but then the Helia Evo is also a lot of boat in 44 feet. Nice boat.

There have been several attempts to get this subject thread back on track, but there seems to be a persistent need to continue with these now ridiculous AC postings....I guess some folks have nothing better in their life

And what new reader of this subject thread would want to continue reading thru this ridiculous crap,...so maybe start a new subject thread related to this boats' design etc
