Hi everyone,
I'm looking at buying a small pocket cruiser for sailing in Prince William Sound up here in Alaska. Swing keel or centerboard is a must for the shallow coves, but also need something that can deal with nasty weather fairly well. I grew up racing Lazers and small boats, and would like a relatively fast vessel. I've been looking at the O'Day Mariner as an option, but really open to any suggestions. Budget is under $10000 but preferably closer to $7500 so I have money to do outfitting.
