Dave I have follwed your posts with a great deal of interest. We are both looking for pretty much the same specs for our boat. I searched high and low to no avail.Too much weight for a 26 foot water line, probable result would sail like a pig. Found what I was looking for in an Elan 35, she has all the stuff I looked for and then some. I came to the conclusion that it just needed to be a bit larger boat. I recalled a boat I saw at the 04 Annapolis show . I checked with the builder and we will most likely start my boat in May and delv in June. T his is starting to get long winded, but if you want to know any extra info give me a tx and we can shoot the breeze via cell phone on the week end so its not long distance. 765-208-0944 Larry
