There's a user group on Yahoo. I personally would like to see people start to post more here, as I like the format of the forum better...

Anyway, think about where the priorities on your boating are, cruising with the familiy or OD racing, because I believe the F-27 is a better boat for cruising/family sailing due to the interior configuration. Performance is still good, albeit not the same as the F-28r, but above the F-24. You'd give up the OD racing, but have better cruising and less cash outlay. Food for thought..

Also, major ditto on Don Wigston. I got my F-27 through him, I'm in MD, boat was in Sarasota, he made everything happen very nicely.
