Do a search for some eye openers about quality issues.

We spent a lot of time on the Neel 45 at the LGM show. I didn't take any video and I regret that. Based on our requirements we found that the 45 was lacking on accommodations we are looking for. But a very interesting boat that I believe has outstanding performance. And on the plus side a single engine to maintain. We also saw another four being commissioned in La Rochelle while we where there. We spoke to one owner who is very passionate about his boat.

It's docked in Herrington Harbor North. We go by it every time we leave our slip. It looks stunning because of its unique design. One of these days we're going to bring extra drinks along and introduce ourselves.

I'm considering an O'Yacht Class 4. Could you share the top 3 things you loved and hated about yours? I'm assuming you have sold her already.

Thanks in advance,
