I love all boats. Big sport fishers, long cave like expresses, open bow pocket cruisers, go fasts, little runabouts, sun fish, cat boats, catamarans, double mast sloops - all of them. Cruising at hull speed just taking it in is very calming to me. I grew up on sail boats, and if it where up to me I'm pretty sure that's what we would have. If you have never been out sailing, in a 30+ footer in calm seas with good wind, I suggest you try it, I know you will remember it, and confident you will enjoy it. I love firing classic natural Detroits on an old Bertram battlewagon and plow thru some head seas on the way to a canyon, run them things hard and long enough to continue hearing them for a couple days after, but I also love the sound of the waves and water and the sail in the wind - and that's it, nothing else.
Ever see a Hinckley you didn't like looking at? Having said that, yes the price is out of line for what this appears to be.
