Sorry for not replying sooner, now the forums up and running again.
I'm glad you indicated we may actually sail more often when living full time (though I think it'll take a while tying all our day to day stuff down).

IMHO the if the old ones were so wonderful then the new ones would be that shape.
I would agree in the main, however some part of the new designs are cost/high production based, as such at the extremes the sail anywhere factor has suffered, but for normal sailing it would appear the moderen designs are more than just acceptable but as you say very worthy boats.

Thanks for the two pennies worth, will you accept a virtual pint instead. 
I didn't put any price down as for me the modern designs are about the same cost just a few years in difference.
Only IMO but the new boats coming from Halberg Rhassey etc are as I would describe more towards traditional design (with the latest of materials etc.. of course).
We have in our budget to either go for a new'er modern (low cost high production lake boat - if you prefer) or an older traditional one (HalRass, Endurance etc...).
This thread has shed a lot of light on them and some misconceptions to the point of seriously looking at them.
