IOR hulls
Here is a solution to the old IOR problem.

This Swan 44 has been modified by Gary Kaufman, who designed the Choate 40. These are
gorgeous boats and he has probably solved the IOR rolling problem. If I had seen this first, I
might have been tempted away from the Cal 40. Mike Jr and I looked at one in Seattle when
we were looking at Cal 40s and the interior was gorgeous but it needed a new deck and the
seller had it priced way too high for its condition. He wanted $125,000 and the deck would
be $35,000. This boat is a great buy. It is the big sister of the Yankee 38 I had many years
ago. Oh well. I wouldn't take it in Transpac but it would be fun at Catalina.
