I was at the local broker on Sunday morning looking around. He has a new listing for a boat I have never heard of, a Rafiki 35. This is a 1978 model that is (according to the listing) one of thirty made, the boatyard is/was in Taiwan. I thought our Island Packet was built well but this boat is built like a tank. It's a little hard to get true perspective of size from the photo but check out the attachments for the rudder!

The hull is fiberglass molded to look like wood, the ports are all bronze.

Disclaimer: If the Admiral reads this I am not thinking of selling the new Hunter, I was just looking.
