I might replace my Wind Dancer with a clone, because I like its cargo
capacity and its stability.  OTOH, it is slow -- Hagen even congratulated
me one time for finding a boat which is *slower* than a Wind dancer!

If not a Wind Dancer, I might go with one of the HV GT Solstice versions
from Current Designs -- almost as much volume, but faster.

'Course, if we are talking day boats, and not multi-day trippers, then my
attention drifts to sleeker, more seductive hulls ... maybe a Falcon 18.
