southerncross - thanks for the post - maybe you (or anyone else) can answer my question #254: after length & draft, I had on my list: a keel stepped mast as a requirement for blue water capability.. then i stumbled over the SC31! What gives? Why wouldnt a CE Ryder build without? Seems like a no brainer
btw, I just rec'd in the mail John Vigors "Twenty Small Sailboats to Take You Anywhere" and it has a chapter on the SC31.. he comments about the cored hull (he summizes its not his 1st choice) and gives the boat the following ratings:
Seaworthyness: 7 (out of 10) - surprising for a boat that gets a 1.55 capsize ratio!
Speed rating: "No sluggard"
Ocean Comfort level: 2 persons, maybe 3 max
Overall, I think he likes the boat, but questions the lack of a keel stepped mast as well..
