Thanks to both of you. I do tend to stay away from the email lists - previous experience was similar to Cap Denr''s description. But, I''m giving the Sabre list a try - none of the petty posturing and the volume hasn''t been bad, so far.

Boats:

The 34 MkII is just too much money for my budget, so it''s off the list. Too bad.

The 32 "looks" like a good sailing boat. Numbers seem to support that baseless observation. I may like it better than the 34 MkI in spite of the reduced room below. Are there any strong opinions about the Aft-Cabin vs Classic layout? Any idea percent of each configuration built?

The 34 MkI (fin keel) may be the boat of choice because of availability. Seems like a "can''t go wrong" kind of choice...as long as the boat is free of any serious/expensive problems.
