When it came time to compare one boat versus the other,
I found this list to be a godsend.
On top of making us think about what was really important for us in a boat, it helped
me not forget everything while looking over a boat. Just being on any boat made me
want to sail away with it, and this kept me organised.
I've included the comparison of a Lagoon42 from a
well known charter company versus Cinderella.
I had also taken the time to search through the West Marine
catalog and others, to decide on what I would buy for the boat if I needed to, select a manufacturer
and provide an estimated cost.
It made it easy to figure out how much this project would cost !
In the last columns, you have Cinderella's equipment. Pretty
close match if you ask me. As I get to use the equipment, I'll post my opinions.
If you have an opinion on any of these
please E-Mail me.
(To come up with this list, I had the help of many articles in the sailing magazines. For those
interested, the key ones are listed at the end of this page. Noteworthy are the " Ideal Boat
" articles I found on the Internet)
