Ok, but you have to admit it will really "sail" when in the water...I've been active in Hunterowners since the forum started, and until Katrina, had an H33 that I had gotten almost like I wanted...As I started looking for a replacement, I keep running into a problem...people selling sailboats that are 20 years or so old and in the size range I want 33-40ft, are telling me that they can't get any wind or hurricane damage insurance on their boats...doesn't do much good to spend 30-60K on a boat and then not be able to insure it...One reason I bought the boat pictured is that it can be insured...and can also move fast enough to get out of the way...uses more fuel in 1 hour than I used to use in a season, but, at least I'm back on the water. But I miss the sailing, and assuming the marinas in the area get rebuilt, would like to get a sailboat, but not if it can't be insured...You can get insurance against fire, theft, and liability, but not replacement for hurricane flood or wind damage...not sure about tornado wind damage. Is everyone else on the Gulf Coast having this problem? If so, there are going to be a lot less good old boats boats in the water in the coming years on the Gulf Coast.
