FYI – Our boat progression Lightning – only survived half a hurricane, the eye passage was too much ☹ Varnished mahogany powerboat – was just an old boat back then, not yet cool. Cal 20 – cramped for cruising with 4, but sailed quite well. Sea Star 25 (heavy Alberg type, it survived a horrendous storm that killed the couple on a Bermuda 40 near us, was dog slow when no storms were in progress) Columbia 26 – yuck, probably the worst boat of the bunch Pearson 30 – was a rocket compared to all previous boats and brought home the silver. Dickerson 36 wooden ketch – was not a rocket and did not win races C&C 35 MK I – purchased in 1977. At that time it was like having a Ferrari when everyone else had a VW :D
