I am very happy with my 1969 Daysailer but am interested in moving up to a 19 foot size. The Oday Mariner has many features that I like in some of the ones on this site for sale. However there is a 19 Gloucester for sale that sounds like a boat i could enjoy ie: topping lift, shoal draft keel (2'3") that would allow no centerboard trunk in my way etc. I am solo sailing the daysailer and having a ball here on Nantucket Sound but the tide in Bass River and my 3.3 HP Johnson are really testing themselves at times!!! Any comments on the Gloucester as to sailing efforts etc. Thanks, Bill L
