IOR hulls

Here is a solution to the old IOR problem. http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1551697/0 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. Mike Kennedy Conquest Cal 40 # 96
