I wasn't trying to attack your choice, no need to be defensive.
I was just curious what you preferred about it. I like the Exploration 45 a lot, and if I could have afforded one, I would likely have bought one rather than the boat I just bought. One of the big appeals to me for is the
Aluminum hull, and the
security that offers in sailing
offshore and in high latitudes. But for sailing mostly in Florida and the Bahamas, the Southerly is also a really nice choice, so I was wondering what put it on top of your list.
I will enjoy my boat, thank you.
