I came to the same conclusion, though with much less homework. I was naive
- and lucky - in those days.
I'd joined SSCA a year or so earlier, and devoured all the articles. One,
in particular, jumped out. The author said, "We're sailing a XXX, because
we could afford it. If we'd had enough money, we would have bought a
Valiant." I hadn't heard a recommendation like that before, so I began
investigating. Eventually, I cancelled the Pacific Seacraft I had on order
and purchased a nice brokerage Valiant. No regrets.
