It looks like Nutsy isn't sure he picked the right boat. He's running
Trolls trying to convince himself of certain things.

Like a Cockpit that is filled up by three adult is a huge cockpit.

A Helm that is right over the Rudder post, made necessary by transom
that has been moved foreward buy a swim platform, which also made a rack
& pinion installation necessary, which also forced the smallest steering
station every seen on a modern production boat.

A Quarter Stern Cabin and Head squeezed into and over loaded stern
area, which forced the need for the lengthen of the hull by the use of
the swim platform to keep anymore weight in the ass end of the boat. A
Stern Cabin & Head we've yet to see a picture of.

A fractional rig to eliminate Lee Helm on the overloaded Stern Section,
forcing a larger Main to keep up S/A, which makes for a squirrelly
up-wing sail trim, which also forced the self furling drum into the hull
to get head sail area down low. This Drum position force the need to run
lines thru the hull.

The Larger Main forces excessive heeling on close-haul sailing, which
makes for crew sitting on one another lap due to the small cockpit.

These are some of the reasons Nutsy is so busy finding positive things
to say about these weakness. If you lie to yourself enough you begin to
believe it.

Just proves, once again, all boats have weak points.

Did Nutsy buy the wrong boat? It is a learning process. He has a nice
boat. Is it the boat he wanted? Who knows what Nutsy really wants.
