Ideal passagemaker???

I do not necessarily agree with the article, but I'm no expert.

I think the ideal passagemaker would...

1. Be capable of going anywhere safely in reasonable weather.

2. Be as comfortable as humany possible while meeting goal #1

I do not see a problem with tall or wide boats so long as they meet goal #1. Taller and or wider seems to directly result in better meeting goal #2

I think the current trend of the passagemaker manufacturers in tall boxy comfortable boats is fantastic as they are meeting both goals.

I only wish that I could afford one, and still have the time to afford it. I can only do one... boat or time. I'm choosing time.
