    Hi Bryan
    Thanks for the further info.
    Yes, Moody is relatively close (nowhere is too far in the UK lol :-
    )).. we have many good yards here so will make a few calls.
    I must confess I still keep returning to the westsail 32 as a hard
    to beat all round world cruiser for Jayne and I. Am looking at a
    couple of Westerly Discus 32's at the weekend, good figures on
    paper. Will let you know how we go on.

    Joe.
