to be used as part of the ditch bag on deck on Jeorgia. My last cruising boat was anAlberg 35. The J37 is about the same length, but way more comfortable offshore ---- for me. I'm less tired and less likely to be sea sick. Although the seasick part is more due to Stugeron. Our new to us boat is an Outbound 44. Still a performance design but much bigger than the J. So.far I've only sailed it offshore to weather. It is an easier ride beating than the J. The Alberg would have been miserable in the same conditions. All in all, bigger boats are more comfy. Each to his own.
