Does this thing look like a speed demon or what? http://www.scandinaviancruisers.com/The_Scandinavian_Cruiser_20_1_1.ht ml Jerry: lapstrake or no, you've gotta love it (need for speed). Never mind the use of the term "cabin" is a stretch here...even compared to the M15. But I am confident your Sage 17, even with less waterline, would give this beauty a run for it's money ;-) Just kind of fun to see what the Europeans are up to... Neil
