As a Swan delivery skipper, what is
your opinion of Swans? Just over-priced fine furniture, or does
the rest of the boat live up to the hype?

I have now looked at the whole list and have only 2 issues..
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!)
Cheers
Colin
Aside to Dennis: Was this the kind of "discussion" you were hoping for?
