Read the last line in Denr''s post and then you will get it. I consider his role on this board to be one of making sure we don''t take ourselves to seriously. Things started to get a little self-righteous during this thread, so I think his dose of "reality" was probably needed.

If you are secure in your choice of boat because it meets your requirements, that''s great. However, once you enter a discussion on absolute comparisons, put your thick skin on because you are otherwise likely to get slighted. Absolute statements like "sweetest sailing 36 foot coastal cruiser" and "most popular production sailboat ever made" are going to get challenged when presented in a broad context.
