Lest my other transmission didn't go through (I haven't received it back yet), my write-up about the Flicka, similar to Joe's, was: Small Craft Advisor magazine refers to the bullet-proof, globe-girdling, 20' Bruce-Bingham-designed and Pacific-Seacraft built Flicka as "Her Majesty, the Flicka". She's the best-built, best looking and most versatile 20-footer on the planet. From her teak bowsprit, along her sweet shear to her wineglass transom with aft-hung rudder, to know her is to love her.

The Montgomery is about as good as it gets in a 15-17 foot sailboat. The Flick 20' was designed by Bruce Bingham and is the biggest little cruiser I've ever seen. It is a full keel, full standing headroom, go anywhere 5,000 pound pocket cruiser built by Pacific Seacraft. Although it is trailerable, I wouldn't want to pull it with anything smaller than a Mack truck. I watched the first Pacific Seacraft Flicka being removed from its mold. It was available at the Long Beach In The Water Boat Show in the late 70's for the introductory price of $10,000. But, of course, I couldn't afford it then either... Joe Kidd M15 #207 "Poco A Poco"
