When I started looking for my ideal cruising sailboat, I was told that all boats are a compromise. That I would never find one that had everything I wanted and nothing I didn’t want especially (being on my own again) at a price I could afford.
I have owned and lived on six other boats prior to buying Eidos over 15 years ago. They ranged from 20-foot day sailers to 30-foot oldies but goodies. I have also sailed with friends and poked around marinas whenever I could. Whenever possible, I spoke to other sailors, as well as designers, builders, surveyors and brokers. I read countless books and magazine articles. Needless to say, over the years, my list of requirements for a perfect boat had grown and became so extensive and detailed that I thought I really would have to compromise. That I would never find her.
