By the way, the Aloha was grabbed. Oh well. The decision is now Bayfield versus Douglas 32 and the C & C 30+'s.
Just get the Bayfield. Don't even bother looking at the C+C. At least with the Bayfield, you could always pop in to Gozzard Yachts in Goderich and have him do any serious work for you. You could also consider one of the many Niagara 35s that are floating around right now. There are some serious deals in Port Credit, TO and Pickering.
