>>>Another thing I like on the Present is the giant drawers in the aft cabin.<<<

We own a Present 38 and it also has the giant drawers. But, like all the drawers on our boat, there are no guides or slides so that if you are not prepared, when you pull out a drawer it tends to end up on the floor.

The 38 was built by Nautique Yachts in Taiwan. There is a large Nautique logo in the fiberglass on the forward deck. I have seen the exact same boat listed as a Nautique 38 on YW. I think Present was the dealer/importer, not sure what, if anything, he had to do with the design.

We previously owned a '84 Irwin sailboat and the fiberglass and gelcoat were of a much, much higher quality than our Present. Again, maybe just a function of the day of week when the Present was built.
