Jeff,
I just read your very detailed post on the impact of the morc rules on performance cruising boat design.
I'm in the market for a performance/cruiser and I've been looking at 3 of the boats that you referred to:
Santana 30/30
S2 9.1
Kirby 30
Prior to reading your post I was unaware of the morc influence on these boat designs but I had by coincidence identified these 3 as candidates.
My mission is to sail the carib for several months or longer. I will make 3-5 day crossings and then layup until i want to change scenery and the weather cooperates. I expect to single hand much of the time.
In your post you referred to the Santana and the S2 as examples of late generation designs and the Kirby 30 as a middle generation boat. I would appreciate it if you would elaborate on that and describe the differences between the middle and late generations. Also, for my mission would you think any one of these boats would have any particular advantage? Or would you recommend something different altogether?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
