Subject: Re: [worldcruising] looking for a boat
From: Capt (nolenb@XXX.XXX)

It is nice to hear someone agree with me. Thanks for speaking up. I have
sailed and race Dingy to J-30's but nothing larger at all. I did a lot a
inland "pond racing" and just as much Gulf racing. I spent some time in San
Diego and worked at the North Sails loft for a little while doing finishing
work for them. I tell you all this because some on the list seem my "from"
name of Capt is inappropriate. I don't have friend in the world that
doesn't call me Capt or Capt Buffalo, Buffalo being my last name.
In hopes of looking where I can find answers to the kind of questions I
have, can you please point me toward a published source of sailboat reviews?
We will have about $80,000 - $1000,000 to spend and want to live aboard
also. Most, if not all, of our sailing will be extreme South Florida (Keys)
and only a days travel further from there.
I am not looking to set any land speed records but I am looking for well
made boat. If we were looking at dingy (Flying Scot, Lightening, Y-Flier)
