Not familiar with Allmands, but they look very nice. Have chartered various sailboats this coast and warm waters, 22 to 42' all while I lived in Alberta.
Been living on the west coast for 20 years now, sailed for a week, that's it.........been a stink potter I'm almost sad to say....but I do eat a lot of fish, and get around a lot....quite quickly.
Geez, just looked at that silver mug I got from the Jr Olympic Trials...1962...I'm feeling very old, I think I need a nap.
I had a Sears 10 ft plastic sail boat... does that count. Ran it right up into someones picnic basket lunch along shore... switched to bowling right after that.
