You had me agreeing with you until that last statement. There is no way I'd be stupid enough to even to try a short cruise on one of those behemoths. A daysail or daylight round the buoys race is one thing, an around the Capes trip is another whole heap of soggy foul wx gear. Can you imagine how much fun going to wx in force 8 wind and waves for days on end on one of those flat bottomed bashers would be. Especially when you are crammed into a stinking cabin with minimal amenities and 20 other unwashed sailors. No thankyou, I'll take my traditional cruiser, with my wife as crew, any day.
BTW, I just got back from seeing the Volvos off from City Dock and
watched a re-run of the race on PBS yesterday. Now that's the way
to go 'cruising'
