[PUP] Any suggestion - or PPM should die

[Peter Sheppard]

I agree with John Marshall that we should look at Steve Dashew's
"Windhorse" which has to be the only breakthrough in passagemakers that
I have heard of, and we should have a go at debating his innovations. I
cannot see anything on his boat that I don't admire when I put into
context of what he and his wife were trying to achieve.

Waffling on about the good old days is just negative ramblings from some
old codger's trying to justify a time out there sailing with the bare
basics, when the guys with the spas on board these days were landlocked
and had their heads down and butts up scrounging for a dollar for their
dream retirement.

A perfect passagemaker is a boat that will take you safely and
comfortably over a long distance, keeping the water on the outside, and
giving you a deep sense of satisfaction when you wrap up your lines at
the end.

Question: What do people thing about Dashews need for speed on his FPB,
and is it worth it?
