    Volvo 70 versus New Boat.

    We will come to regret the 70's. Not only for the boat in herself, but also for the International competition amongst designers, builders, suppliers etc. Maybe with a review in terms of scantlings and maybe with some common systems for keel, rudders, protection,the V70's should be good to go for a long time.
    But the biggest mistake with the new boat is about limiting the crew to 8 members.
