Maybe the Bermuda 40 yawl was "reefed already? Their SA/D was 15.35
compared to the 34's 17.7? Likely a more comfortable ride too with a
Motion Comfort number over 40 - the 34's only 22.55. . . Save the
grief for a light air day.

Thanks to you and all other responders on this subject. An offer was
made yesterday and I am waiting for a reply and or counteroffer.
From what I can learn about this particular boat, it likely
originated in Lake Champlain based upon sails from a local loft. The
boat was brought from Ft. Walton Beach Fla area to New Orleans in
2006 following Hurricane Katrina. If you cannot take a broach, you
have not pushed the boat. I know people who are young enough and
think it is a normal and natural part of sailing. They were
particularly amazed in one race, following a Bermuda 40 Yawl, why
the Bermuda 40 never broached.
