I also went to the boatshow yesterday, and am currently now anchored in Spa Creek on my 34ft Romany catamaran.
I was also very disappointed with finish on the Mahe 36. Especially since when I last went to the show 10 years ago I thought the FP Belize 43 was the "Boat of the Show"
I also said then, and still do, that the Gemini offers the best value for money for those looking for a US coastal cruiser
