I followed a link to this article from SA. I admit to already being quite skeptical about aluminum sail drives, since seeing one at the yard that had been mostly dissolved by electrolyis/corrosion.
The report about late-model Tartan epoxy hull layup quality (or lack of) and the company's effort to "shoot the messenger" was even more interesting. I guess I shall stop lusting for one of those 300K Tartan 34's... (Oh well, couldn't afford one anyway).
My 20 year old Ericson is looking better and better and bet....
