Please continue, Todd
I'm not disagreeing with your assertion, Todd. I think I know where your response gets its inspiration. But for those who may be wondering, how would your vote affect the outcome? Let's hear the slamdance version. On my end, My wife and I looked for a couple years to find the "right boat" for us. Much of that discovery involved defining "us", which is to say, what we thought we wanted in a boat. We were interested in the "coastal cruising" category, and after owning a smaller boat (Hunter 25) for a while, then sailing larger boats and looking at lots of other boats, I mean lots, we were convinced that our boat had not been built yet (at least not in our price range), but the closest that came to our mind's eye was the Catalina 30. Interesting to see it chosen as best in "our" class. Life, of course, is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans, and we bumped into a Morgan 34. We are thus far thrilled with the challenge of adapting our dream to this 1970 reality. Which category would you rework, and why? I value your opinion as much as I value those of the editors of GOB Magazine, if only because you sail on one of the Great Lakes, and I'm origiinally from Michigan and miss the smell of fresh water. Give us your list, Todd. And if anybody has a question about Deb's and my boat, give us a shout at dpkoestner@mac.com, since I'm old enough to know that our Morgan 34, lovely and functional though she is, will only be our last boat if I croak before her iron genny does.
