Jack,
Thank you for your comments and questions.
I will be mostly day sailing on Long Island Sound. Maybe 1-3 trips a year to Shelter Island, Block Island and Martha''s Vineyard. This is all my prediction since this will be my first boat. My guess is that the 4001 is good for my needs. However, there is the possibility of selling the boat in the next 3-4 years. That''s when I wouldn''t want to loose local or distant buyers because I have the 4001.
