Hi Jud,
...come to think of it, that must have been one of the last times an "ordinary" POS was featured, 2001 I believe it was...
To be fair, I was really just speaking of the covers themselves, I think CW still does a pretty good job of covering the broad spectrum of cruising in their features. We all tend to fixate on the "Yacht Style" Dream Boats that will likely re-appear in the Brokerage Section within a year or two, but there is still plenty of editorial content that features ordinary cruisers doing the real thing in modest boats.... Fatty Goodlander, of course, immediately comes to mind...
best regards,
Jon
