Beautiful boats Tom. My favorite design to watch under sail is a Luders -16. I think many of the new designs just improve on the sail handling and accommodations of boats from long ago.. Then charge handsomely... Btw, my post above was totally tongue in cheek, AND totally opportunistic...mnh

How much has changed in sailboats and sailing in 50 years?
- Nothing better since 1984
  - As Click and Clack would say...from the Shameless Commerce Division.
  - Nice! There's some good stuff to come.
    - Here's another nice boat from a Mass builder.
      - what's new?
        
        They're timeless beautiful boats. Another small builder, this one in the UK. Swallow Boats.
        
        And another from Mass. I met his builder on the beach in Red Brook last summer.
        
        I believe Tom, used to be built by Edey & Duff, and Bill Harding ...
      - Saw it last year at the NE Boat Show. Beautiful boat.
        
        It's mostly not new, these look more like old sailboats than contemporary boats.
    - I Like the Presto You We're Touting For My Kind of Cruising Ground ...
      - Me too Don. They launched 4 more Prestos last year.
        
        A beautiful boat. Cat ketches are all the rage these days and perhaps with good reason.
        
        here's a pic
        
        I'm having a hard time warming up to those
        
        You know me, I like them all, sailboats.
- Here's a new boat going for less by far....
  - Fun boat! 50K is the new 22'er price. Check out Jboats newest boat.
