On sail choice, went with standard furling Genoa. No gennaker or Code 0 yet, but bowsprit and gear are fitted. No idea yet on where I'll source.

Re: Astrea 42: Owners?
Hi Steve
No, you can't make a wrong decision there. That said, the final swing for us was cabin/berth size v Lagoon. On the Astrea, even with 4 cabins, you can 'walk' around all 4 berths. Everyone...

Re: Astrea 42: Owners?
No, deposit is with FP. Same risk as a deposit with any company. Get a good broker. I can thoroughly recommend Stephen Cockcroft (Cat Guru) having been thru the end to end process with him.
