To cdragon: "turquoise sailcovers"? Like mine, you mean? I cannot answer for the tastes of all Ovni buyers, but they do have a choice, you know. Mine is dark blue.

As for "whopping great arches on the transoms" - I wonder if anything more useful was ever invented. From mine hangs the dinghy, and on top sits the radar, GPS, windmill, search light, TV antenna - and the bosun's hook along with a deck broom both fit snugly alongside. The EPIRB is bolted to the upright. Try fitting this on another boat and let's see how many Christmas trees you end up with, usually in ugly skimpy tubing looking like clothes hoists. I would come very close to specifying a targa for all true blue water cruisers.
