Does anyone else get PMY? A couple of interesting features in "The Cruising Issue" - one with Tony Fleming in the Aleutians and another about a couple how are living aboard and cruising on a Nordhavn 40 in the PNW.
The Nordhavn cruiser had a lot of good advice - a lot of which has been mentioned on TF previously. "To the extent you're considering living aboard while cruising, get the smallest boat that you can comfortably live on and manage". I sure wish the member with a $200K-$300K budget for a single-handed long distance cruiser who's now considering a 57' McKinna for $385K gets a chance to read that and soak in those lessons.
But my favorite article was "Majestic Triumph" (I can't find it on their site) - where the editors of PMY named "the 25 prettiest boats".
Some of them were obvious - "Aphrodite", a Trumpy 58, the Hinckley 36 Picnic Boat, Huckins Atlantic 44, Riva Aquarama...awesome boats.
What I noticed was that there were no "trawlers". The closest was a GB EastBay 54. Aren't there any pretty trawlers?
