didnt mean to offend anyone but wasnt sure everyone got the ask all sailors forum vs just brand specific
No one is offended John, just curious. Most of us, I think, use "New Posts" under "Forums". Even so your original was in the "Ask All Sailors" forum which I believe covers all the bases. Did you not find the right boat? Wish I had your problem.
no....I came across a compac 27/2 that I like the layout on though...back when I had my H30t i never looked at posts other than on the mid-size hunters...getting a lot of good info, but i never think i have enough..there are a lot of people with great ideas and suggestions plus knowledge that I do not believe I could get by myself.
Go with the H33 or H37C. Great sea boats that are predictable, strong and sail well - if you get the deep keel models.
