I tried to do a search on this form , but for some reason it wouldn't pull up the keywords Discovery 55, so I have to ask my question here . But if this boat has been reviewed somewhere on this form , can anyone help me find the thread ?
My question is this , Discovery 55 review . I have a friend that's trying to talk me out of this boat ..because of what he calls poor Hull design , that it doesn't handle rough Seas well. Or that it takes a stronger wind to push it. versus other similar-sized yachts.
Any Discovery 55 owners out there , or people with experience on this vessel, that can reply ?
One of my main interest in upgrading to this discovery 55 is that I've heard the company is very easy to work with , in designing the boat purchase.
I trying to ignore my friend .because he sold on only one name brand boat.. ( His boat's manufacturer of course ) so he has a very biased opinion.
It's a big purchase , but now that I've sold my boat I'm anxious to move up to my next boat ..
..
Coming out of a 38 footer that I frequently solo sailed . I might be buying off more than I can chew , but at this point , mostly I was looking for feedback on the Discovery 55 hull design , and handling characteristics.
