- Boat Size in Caribbean Bound Rallies
- Could be.....
- Larger boats are more comfortable
- I went with the "Go small, go now" mind set
- Exactly.
- Did you ever regret upsizing from the CD30?
- I never regreted going up in size to 38.
- Shannon 38PH - what more could anyone want
- I would be very happy with the Shannon 28

- You have always said that (about everything being big!)
- Moving up (or down)
- Exactly.
- Could you attribute this to many boomers having the means today to do this, and these are not their first boats.
- One perspective from Sail 2012. "No More Vagabonds, Please"
- Yup, boats keep getting bigger, that's no surprise...
- I've met a number of owners whose 45-50 ft boat was their first….
- The latest SAIL magazine has a feature on the "12 Top Bluewater Boats"...
- Do ya think the list might be a function
- Guess I am just ....
- "I don't need to go with a group to be safe" I don't think that's fair to these sailors.
- I admit that.....
- That's an overly general statement about the HaHa.
- When we met with folks....
- You've done quite a bit Greg
- THANKS Larry!!.....
- This board has always been about bragging.
- Funny....
- Gee, I've never thought bragging. I see folks sharing experieneces, opinions yes, but based on their own experiences.
- Remember "show and tell" from grade school?
- Funny....

- The SaltyDawg is off! Tom Brownell, Dave Evans boat hauler is locked in a race with another Hylas 54,....
- I spoke to Tom today via satphone...
- Wow! This is great. COuld you post how it's going,
- It's striking how much further E he's sailed out of the Bay than the entire 1500 fleet...
- Chris Parker is a huge asset to the community
- Spoke again to DISTANT STAR...
- Low 50's is a LOT of wind
- thanks Jim. The spot has them too bunched up to see the departure.
- You know it's been a pretty sporty ride, when the crew on a boat like a Hylas 54 reports...
- I can't imagine how you would keep a large foredeck locker door watertight...
- Update from Distant Star...
- Sounds like a powerful boat sailed by an able crew.
- The Sadler 34, RUFFIAN has finally shown on the logs page.
- Not everyone is having fun out there. We met this couple on SERAFINA in Cuttyhunk.
- An update from SERAFINA. Things are moderating for them, winds 25 to 35 knots,
- Listening to yesterdays radio recording, JAMMIN, a Catalina 42, lost steerage.
- An update from SERAFINA saturday.
- And finally, this good news from SERAFINA, our friends on the Sadler 34, RUFFIAN have been found and get this,...
- Wonder if I could find room for a nice stove like that??
