[frers-list]frers33 for cruising

[frers-list@lists.frers33.com]

I'm looking for a clean frers33 and am looking for some candid advice. 

Can anyone comment on the overall cruising capability of the boat? This is truly going to have be a dual purpose boat and will have to accommodate a few long weekends (maybe up to 5-7 days) per year (usually just me and my wife), up and down the New England coast.

Is the boat dry enough for cruising?

Has anyone managed to fit a short dodger in front of the traveller?

Has anyone been caught in a blow in a frers33. How did she manage?

Any advice on what to look out for in terms of typical survey issues (i.e., mast step issues, delamination, etc.). Any serious moisture issues with the cored hull?

Any other advice?

Thanks for any info,

Rob
