Over the past couple of years Mary and I have been looking for a different boat. The Morgan is a great boat but didn’t have the layout we wanted. With covid the market was difficult, we lost several chances on buying not one but two Bristol 45’s than a Little Harbor44 was past up because we could not get there. Eventually we ended up going to Grenada, West Indies and looked at a Topper Hermanson 44, very simular to a Van de Statd 44. Steel hull with upper aluminum structure. We are very pleased with the purchase and are excited to fly down this coming week to put it back in the water and sail it back home to Maine. We plan on 21/2 to 3 months. I have one more year before retirement and having it back here will give me time to work on it. I was lucky enough to sell my boat in 5 months. A testament to the Morgan Boat. I will drop in every so often and check out the posts and catch up. Here is a couple of pictures. This is the best website I have seen for a sailboat forum. While looking I tried many but most sites were not active. Keep up the good work Mark but it also takes the members civil participation to make it happen and this the best one out there! Rick
