I like that boat, too - but I just can't wrap my mind around such a price, for such a basic boat...

Hey Tom,

That boat would barely be suitable for an overnight, the interior is incredibly spartan, there is NOTHING down below other than a couple of settees and a head.... No provision for any sort of galley whatsoever, how such a boat commands that sort of price tag boggles the mind... Guess that's why we've got to extend the Bush tax cuts for millionaires, I suppose... (grin)

If you're really looking for performance in a boat of that size, I think what Beneteau has done with their new First 30 designed by Juan K is pretty impressive... For the fraction of the cost of a J-95, here's a boat with a real interior that you could actually go places with in comfort. I'll bet this thing would be a blast to sail...
