Camaraderie
"
****************
Now on to sailing fool... that is in IDIOTIC response about one of the most revered and recommended Robert Perry designs for bluewater cruising on a budget. On that basis you'd also be rejecting Passport, Mason, Taswell and many other fine boats that make your C&C look like a toy! A LITTLE knowledge is a dangerous thing! "
I have to say your comments lack any spirit of camaraderie. That you may rever the Tayana is fine your you. Some folks rever Westsails and others rever Concordias...I guess to each their own. All these boats had their days, and reasons to admire them. However, those characteristics that made them special in their day dont' necessarily make them good candidates for new sailors looking today for first time offshore boats.
Teak decks, encapsulated keels, steel keels and old Taiwan boats are all subjects that have had extensive discussion threads on this board. You may not consider all of issues, or any one of them, a toss-out reason in choosing a boat, but you miss the boat in calling someone who does an idiot.
I owned quite a few different boats in the twenty-five years since I sold that C&C, I'd say your ad hominem response suggests a lack of other material to work with.
