"Pear" review

You have an intersesting project that asks a lot from the design limitations. I think , personally, I would be concerned about some of the performance charactersistcs....the heavy weather helm this shape will produce a very low "comfort Ratio" that , in a heavy sea, will make the trailerable features, a most uncomfortable sacrifice. Good luck

ErikG, in the US it's "Apples and Oranges", but pears would work just as well. ;-)
They say English is the most difficult language in the world to learn. It always seemed pretty easy to me....
Swedish, on the other hand, you can keep. The day I can speak or write Swedish as well as you write English I'll be a happy man who has had nothing else to do for a couple of years but learn languages. French I can speak reasonably, German if you don't mind an Austrian accent and schi-Deutsch, and I can read Russian.

And none of you learn it that well, either..... ;-P

I'm beginning to think the Aussies and the English are like the Americans and the English - two countries divided by a common language. (Churchill, I think)
