I'm still looking at boats, reading emails from this list and learning
lots. Right now I'm sitting back, watching the market, looking to new
boats that come up, and trying to figure out where I want to end up.
Maybe some more experienced listers can offer some thoughts (on or off

I went from a Pearson 28 to my 35/3. The Pearson was great for day sails,
had a diesel and wheel. It lacked a stove and a comfortable bunk for 2.
It sailed much better than its rating but lacked a furler and chute.

My first boat was a 26 footer. I knew nothing about buying a boat, but bought

vacation. Being on Lake Superior, I also wanted a boat that was sturdy enough
to handle "big water"; and I knew it would have to be used, as
