I agree somewhat. Coronados are by no means blue water vessels, but they do serve a purpose admirably, I think. I started out on an old C25, and I think that this is a good way to go for the purpose of getting out to sail. If these old tubs didn''t exist & the only way to get into sailing was to buy a blue water-capable Tartan, I think a lot of us would still be standing on the dock.
