Well if one gets knocked off, you do have another!

Whats the problem in the PNW?

Rocky bottoms and floating lumber?

I like the clean decks.

Nothing worse than having a hard time seeing while your on the
wheel..that and cluttered tight decks.

I love the style. Pilothouses rock (I own one) but the hull still has
to be well thought out and sail properly. Cruisers up here hit logs
daily. It rains all the time (keeps the riff raff away). Sailing from
inside the pilothouse on a ****ty day listening to a little Buffet on
the stereo is pretty close to heaven. No crowded anchorages in Dec.
