Moore 24; great pocket ocean racer. Cruising boat? No way! Morgan OI 41; ok if you don't mind the build quality, glued in floorboards and tacking through 140 degrees. Good dock condo, I guess. Delivered enough of them to appreciate their nickname. Pearson Triton; that base was coved with the Alberg 30. There are lots of other Pearsons that I'd have chosen before the Triton or the Vanguard Swan 44; it feels like heresy to say it but the 44 isn't a great cruising boat. There's a lack of light and ventilation below. Great sailer, don't get me wrong, and able to handle anything, but the Frers Swan 46 is by far the better boat. Westsail 32; see the comments for the IP 38. Couldn't get out of its own way. Won't go to weather in any kind of seaway. The only good thing I can say about it is that it can handle whatever weather comes its way. Which is just as well 'cause you sure ain't running away from it!
