[PCW] TO ROD GIBBONS - BEST CAT OUT THERE!

[Mike and Ann Michelin]

	Hi Rod,
	A week ago or so I sent the message below to you via the list.
	As I have been very busy, I think I have missed your reply.
	If so, would you be kind enough to send it to me off list?
	If not, I am sure there are others on the list who are looking
forward to hearing your comments, based on your close interaction with
Catamaran customers.
	Thanks... and looking forward to hearing from you.
	Mike

	Hi Rod,
	Interesting comments!
	A couple questions all about Cats in the 35 to 40 foot range:
	1) Just curious about your view of what Cat(s) are the best out
there at this point in the 35 to 40 foot range?
	2) What are the "new" ones you are talking about per your comment "
There are some really GOOD power cats (i.e., with smart, thoughtful,
sensible ergonomics) now on the horizon. It'll be interesting to see if
their
launchings, in another year or so, reveal that their designers have LISTENED
to what cruising power sailors actually WANT!?!)". Anywhere we can go to see
details?
	3) From your customers point of view, in your experience thus far,
what are the Top 10 "Must Be" elements.
	4) Similarly, what are the Top 10 No-No's!
	Perhaps some of this will stir a bit of debate!!!!
	Looking forward to your commentaries!
	
	Mike
