Thank you gentlemen. You have helped me narrow my list.
Jeff, if you are still following this thread: you have, both directly and indirectly, pointed me pretty strongly in the direction of the Tartan 34 and the Bristol 34K/CB, advice which I feel confident about. I also received a good report from the Pearson e-mail list on the Pearson 33-1. A similar boat (keel/centerboard, separate skeg/rudder) is the Seafarer 34. I would very much apreciate comments from anyone on this boat; I know nothing about the Seafarer line.
Thanks very much.
Gary
