Hello Navy Davy,

Thank you for that, and I know of the Gunboat... I have never seen one, but looked at them on the internet. There seems to be two things that stand out to me, first of all is...

Wow Monte,
Thank you.... That was a very valuable response there....

I mean the part about the F.P. in the past couple of years they have elevated to definitely a Blue Water Cruiser with good...

Re: Med for a year, Carib for a year, 2016-17,18, what new Cat should I consider?

Everything else they have done, I really like. I have more faith.. Myself, I think the 10mm chain weight in angled scope is OK for the size of the Helia 44, but with the Saba 50, I would want the...

Re: Med for a year, Carib for a year, 2016-17,18, what new Cat should I consider?

Re: Med for a year, Carib for a year, 2016-17,18, what new Cat should I consider?

Sounds like you do not understand... It is not just the tyranny of distance. After two years in the Med and Carib, we could import a two year newer boat back to Oz... If the Maestro version of the...

Re: Med for a year, Carib for a year, 2016-17,18, what new Cat should I consider?

Thank you all,
That gives us a couple of more to consider...

We will just have to wait for a Show that has these major contenders on display.. The SABA 50 "Maestro" layout, from Annapolis,...
