Owner’s comments:

I bought the boat late last year and spent the winter detailing it to my obsessive standards. After getting used to how it handled, I invited my non-sailing wife out for a cruise. Unfortunately, she now likes sailing so much that she wants us to buy a bigger boat that will fit the two of us a little more comfortably. So, goodbye Melonseed.
