A trip isn't just the destination, but is also the journey. I've never been a big fan of hurry up and get there on a boat...the last time I was on a boat for an extended period was on a 42' sail boat in the Bahamas...it took us a full 24 hours to make it there...and it is only about 60 miles (as the...

Excellent info. Thanks. I look forward to reading and learning more.

The thing I like most about the Nordhavn 35 is the LOOK of it--not necessarily anything to do with hull shape. When I posted the info on it I knew it was unrealistic in terms of what had been described and discussed previously.

That's just a hair out of my price range right now...maybe check back with me in a couple of months... :lol: On another note: I think it is better to worry about long range/good economy...if you wanna go faster choose a different style of boat...JMHO... :wink: I think 10 knots would be exceptional...
