Hunter 356? Really? Those things are ugly as shit. Island Packet 38? I know they're well built and all, and lots of folks like them, but you couldn't pay me to sail one. I HATE that colour they use and I wouldn't want anything with a full keel. Also, nice to see numerous Canadian entries: Alberg, C&C, Whitby, Contessa, Gozzard. (Although someone will point out that 4 out of these 5 also have full keels. Yeah, well, I wouldn't have one of those either, even if they are Canadian!)
