I totally forgot about Tartan, that was a good suggestion. Sabre too. Some of these more traditional boats might not be as fast as the J boats, but I think he is hoping for a little more warmth and style below decks than the J boats provide. Freedom 38/39 is another one that we came up with. In any event, he will be looking at a Nordic 40 soon, will be interesting to see what he thinks.
Thanks again for the suggestions.
