    I notice that GB has ceased production of the 42-foot model. I'm not
    sure about the 32- and 36-footers that along with the 42 placed them in
    the market position they enjoy today. Instead of just calling our boats
    "older" models, GB, as it moves into its new generation is referring to
    us old farts as the "Heritage" models. Hmmm...

    My particular boat is a "Classic" model 42 (it was just a "GB42" in
    1972) with the walk-around flush deck and fore and aft accommodations,
    while aft cabin models with raised stern are call motor yachts (MY), and
    the Europa style has the raised bow and covered, lower side decks with
    long main cabin and no berthing aft. So now I am a GB42CLH (for
    Heritage). I could get confused if another generation passes. At that
    time, I'd suggest they just append "OF."

    Let's see, does that mean we are heritage humans too as we age?

    I thought they were calling the new model a "Heritage"?
