In Response To: Re: More to this story... (Rob)

Rob my biggest seas encountered for 35 miles was in my old B25 Sedan. I really trusted that boat. It is now in Sweden. Yep a Swedish gentlemen bought it from a broker in Ft. Lauderdale who purchased it from me in 2000 after I bought the Can Do It, my current 31 FBC.On that day of 12 foot seas with a period of 3-4 seconds 25 boats were reported missing to the local Coast Guard station. Mine was one of them as the winds and water blew my VHF antenna off. i.e. no communication(I now have a handheld and standoff brackets for the VHF ant)That 25 is a very sea worthy boat. It took us 10 hours to navigate 33 miles. The ride doesn't compare to the 31 of course but a very sturdy well designed hull it is.I'm just glad I waited to buy another Bertram instead of jumping the instinct gun to settle for less. Dave K
