    Thanks Barry! I adore my C-27. She ma be old, but she's in fine shape and sails very well, even under a FNG captain like me.

    God your boat is gorgeous! That's cruising in style! How well does she sail? I still have vey little experience to draw on as of yet, and as such have very little by which to measure by. I can tell that she's very well appointed from the C-42 brochures we have at CD.

    Barry, if ever I make over there, I would LOVE the opportunity to crew for you. Likewise, if you make it over here, give me a call and I'd be pleased to sail the Serenity with you. :-)
