Both the 30 and the 41appear to me to be the work of people obsessed with winning races. From my narrow point of view, that reduces the potential interested audience to a somewhat limited group of people in their 30's and 40's who happen to have enough cash and racing buddies to buy and crew a large dinghy for a few years, but will likely not have long term love affairs with them. The boats may well excel as racers but the real test is whether they will endure as boats that families and cruisers will also enjoy. I don't see much comfort in the cockpit design and I don't see places for instruments and other cruising bric-a-brac. I appreciate they are preliminary designs subject to inevitable change, but, while they may be fast, they don't look very comfortable to me. Yet another 41 ft. boat with berths that only a gymnast can easily access. I think they should have a look at what Beneteau and others have on the market today and take note of what they are doing right.
As for the logo, I see it's fractured. Fits. Rich Knowles INDIGO LF38 Halifax, NS. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
