wow. As if I didn't already have enough things on the "want to do" list. Thanks guys. Andrew, if it's not too much trouble, for my own curiosity would you mind emailing me off-list and letting me know what a C&C 32 half hull would cost to have made? It's my birthday in 11 months which gives me a lot of time to drop hints with the missus.
