[PUP] Any suggestion - or PPM should die ?

[David Law]

Hello, could we ask all the sailors on here to look at not the top 600K trawler but put their experience to making a good seaworthy small passagemaker, and what a small passagemaker would need. I think it is good to look at the top of the market knowing the products which have world wide reputation but when you have to put your mind to the economical solution and making the budget solution there may be a different story.
Any thoughts ?
Regards 
David

I think that the idea of talking about systems, materials, and reliability
is a good one. Within each person's definition of a PPM lie many common
systems from bilge pumps to engines. Size may dictate models or brands, but
it is still all good. It is also important to understand the intended use of
your PPM. For example, the PPM for the Inside Passage and Alaska might be
constructed of different materials than a PPM intended for runs from New
England to Trinidad.

The PPM topic serves as a vehicle for learning just as the Passagemaker List
does.
