    Flush decks have big aft decks with plenty of room for line handling. No need to get on the platform which is just plain dumb when docking

    I probably should look at the next size down, a 53 perhaps, would that be a flush deck like yours?
    The 61/63 is too big for a single guy, (in case mama kicks me out, will miss my dog.:()
    Time will tell, maybe I won’t need a liveaboard boat after all but as a former Boy Scout I always look
    at plan B, just in case.:cool:

    I think the best is the 56MY as it has a wider beam. Very similar layout.

    Aye. Thx for the offer, much appreciated but the storm has passed, or so it seems.
    Being married to an artist is a lot of work, it is all about temper, emotions and drama, never dull.
    I will lay low in the terrain and stay out of trouble for a while…

    Just don't ever get close to what ever topic this rub was about.
    If it was a real bad storm, it will never completely pass.

    Like a good boy scout, be better prepared when it does return.
    Brotherly advice; I usually ignore it and don't engage when it returns. Big down wind reach, fast and far aweigh at the same time helps also (ie; retreat, run like heck, do not say a thing)..

    Ha, all good advice for sure.
    The clouds have passed and sun is shining now that she won Best in Show at a watercolor exhibition in Bradenton, FL.

    Great looking trawler, probably a one-off built in Canada.
    Single diesel, a great Bahamas boat for us old sailors.

    I think the name on her explains a lot.
