A good friend of mine would like to buy their first "big boat". We sail out of Buzzards Bay which I affectionately call the "Washing Machine" resulting from the Bay's shallow water and strong afternoon S'Westerlies.
Their budget is around 15K and because of the aforementioned washing machine, need a stiff boat around the 30-34' size. In addition to size, if my memory is correct there are certain "Marques" within a specific size range (33?) which are stiffer than others and would be better suited to the area. So what size and what "Mark" version do you folks think would be appropriate? Thanks in advance! David F.

It's a centerboard model and nicely outfitted for cruising. Any connection?Has a big crucifix on both sides. Not really my cup of tea but unique anyway.

The fellow's name was Mike Pope, so naturally enough, his boat was called Vatican.

The previous owner sold Flying Scotts (I think) at one time so it was a play on words. She still carries that name. My new boat, C&C 30 MKII, was named Lagniappe when I purchased her. Talk about a mouth full and a triple repeat on the spelling when calling a bridge, marina, or vessel. After the delivery trip North from Annapolis to Mystic I changed the name. I got tired of repeating myself. Didn't like the name myself, but anyone from New Orleans seemed to love it, reminded them of home. So I renamed my current boat HANUMAN. Seems simple enough and I'm still amused that most folks can't pronounce it, nor spell it. HA NEW MAN. Hanuman is a very prevalent character in the Ramayana and his picture is probably hanging on the wall in every Indian restaurant in the world. Millions of kids watch him in cartoons. He's carved into every early Buddhist/Hindu temple across Asia. I just happen to be on the wrong side of the world now and I guess I spent to much time in Asia. Oddly enough, Hanuman is also the namesake of one of the J Class yachts. The owner has spinnaker graphics similar to the tattoo on my leg. :) Fortunately, I had the tattoo longer so I can say he stole my idea..lol It's the Khmer version of Hanuman carved into the the temples of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Burma/Myanmar. Anyway, the Ramayana is one of those books everyone should read, or at least try to, once in their life. I hope I didn't put anyone to sleep with this tale....
