Sorry you have such a smug attitude about what other people possess
Smug? I guess I'm smug, too, because I can't identify with owning the kind of boat that seems to be of interest to Cruising World's target audience either. I understand that you may be easily offended, but I found nothing to warrant your negative response to Steve's message. As you put it so well: "Sorry, but the first of your post was a complete turn off". You're doing yourself a disservice if you believe that people who say they can't identify a particular type of boating are "smug". BTW: Steve, you might want to look at a magazine called Good Old Boat (http://www.goodoldboat.com/) which, for me, is the best of them all.
