Larry, thanks for your lucid thoughts on your choice of TC-38 Sitara. Turns out we passed you on Pine Island Sound a couple of months ago during our PDQ charter -- you were speeding right along! I've got the photos to prove it, I'll send them to you off-list. One of the things we really like about all the TrawlerCats is their straightforward single-helm design. For a couple cruising together, this seems a friendlier, more convenient arrangement than a two-helm, flying bridge layout. The Endeavour arrangement provides virtually the same visibility as a flying bridge without the steps (or ladder) and the complete separation of a separate upper helm. With the drop-down side curtains, the big aft cockpit becomes a second salon -- with an unbeatable view! Congratulations on an excellent choice (IMHO), Henry
