Phil, C&C's are by far the best boats on the water and I was wondering why you would choose to ignore such an important contributor to the world of nautical vessels. Please add a site for C&C owners and I will make sure they come. Thanks, Dick

We've considered that
One reason we haven't is the multitude of models we'd have to gather data and pix on. Not to mention the !@#%$^%

Iwould think..
..that the best benefits of these Web Sites are the information and the opinions exchanged between owners and specialists , and between owners themselves , all accumulated overtime in archives. Basically , I would presume 90% of owners have their boat owner manuals , and as such the theoretical factory data for each model is not the major asset of such Site.( and this 'passive' information can be found mostly at major producers Web Sites , or at their dealers ones) Having in mind also that most major brand use same equipment ( deck, sails, rigs,engines,galley,plumbing,electronics etc.),then -I would think that a big Site including even more "production line" GRP boats ,which frankly, these days, are -and look- more similar than ever ( well..except Hunters , I have to admit..), would be more benificial to the private owner.( Although the "big names" might preffer to keep us separated , for brand 'loyality'..). To much extent, it is so now, as Catalinas and Beneteau share in , whenever they find it relevant . I would 'add on' more similar ones , even if actual owners-in USA- are still in small number now, like Jeaneau , Bavaria . We all can only benefit from such versatility..

CandC yes - Ericson No
Phil I would definitely add the Cand C web site but I think you should think twice about the Ericsons. Most C

Why not Island Packet too
Hey while we are dumping lots of new work on you Phil; How'bout Island Packet. their owners are fanatical about their boats, almost a cult, the manufactuer has a great reputation for customer service, the boats hold their resale value, and they stir up a heated discusion from their looks, to their semi-full keel, to their speed, or lack thereof, and their reputation for high build quality and seaworthiness. Might be an interesting addition to the ever expanding Herring empire :_)))))) Bob Knott H380
