RE: round-trip costs, etc

Nah, you wouldn't Marin, but hey you could have your cake and eat it too. The Nordy 50 has rear sloping windows, just like you like. Ok, it's no longer in construction, but there are some out there to buy, and maybe the fact they are no longer in construction, and the new 52 has those dreaded forward sloping windows again (all the Nordys do now), might be food for thought? I know that won't sway your aesthetics, but perhaps it could be said to be a feature so desirable in a safety/practicality way, that it justifies the aesthetic challenge? Ok -like the Honda thing - it just works......
