912.2CONTEST QUALITYBIGALO::HALL_MERRILLFri Jul 29 1988 11:308
    ALL THE CONTEST BOATS HAVE A REPUTATION FOR HAVING BEEN VERY WELL
    BUILT (LLOYDS 100-A).  I HAVE SAILED A 30 FROM CAPE MAY, NJ TO PORTLAND
    DURING CRUDDY WEATHER AND HAD NO PROBLEMS.  MOST EUROPEAN BOATS
    OF THAT ERA WERE BUILT TO LLOYDS SPECS IN ORDER TO GET INSURANCE.
    THE BRITS AND HOLLANDERS THINK OF AMERICAN STUFF AS GLITTERY JUNK.
    WATCH THE OVERALL DIMENSIONS...THE "30" MEASURES APPROX 29'8" AND
    THE "31" IS ABOUT 30'4".
