[PUP] Top Five Passagemakers

[Alan Wagner]

Robert,

I think that you would get some answers that might be of more help to the
members here if you told us a little bit about what you want to do, how much
boat you want, and what you want in it.  Are you headed to the South Pacific
or up and down the east coast and occasionally to the Bahamas?  How many
cabins do you want? You want new -- recently new -- or an older model?  What
boating experience do you have?  Do you have a size in mind or a price . . .
.just to list a few items that can  change the recommendations you get.  The
more information you provide, the more focused response you will get.

Me? . . . . . I couldn't find what I wanted out there, so I had one designed
and it's being built in Canada (I am still trying to figure out how to get
that exchange rate back to where it was when I started, though!!).

Not to take away from your conversation about the Krogen and Dashew, but
this is my first post to PUP.  I would like to know from you what you
consider the top five passage makers to be and why.  My wife and I are
getting very close to retiring to a boat and intend on extensive cruising.
