I agree: the SIG45 really hit me at the boat show.


NO compromise on performance (75 feet mast!), sleek, no deck pod but still decent accomodations. Looks gorgeous. You can fly a hull with this boat and reach 25 knots. Wonderfull design by VPLP which is a reference. Price at 600k, which is a lot but nothing compared to the other cats where you could not find anything decent under 1 Million. Ugly.
This is the trend: big fat boats, with huge comfort features, heavy, slow and sometimes not even looking capable to go outside the marina. In other words: big RV on the water. Otherwise classic (and beautifull) monohulls with a big price tag.

I could not find any boat 20-30 feet, sleek and affordable which would have shown that sailing is a popular thing.
