"Here\'s Johnny" will never make a boat tester...
Reading the "Here's Johnny" feature in this months MBY about boat testing, and he seemed to have got it absolutely spot on in every respect, but then he fell down on the most important aspect!
Johnny, if you're reading this, (and I know you do), you cannot possibly have a boat test without the words "breathes more easily" in the text at least once, and preferably two or three times.
If the galley has been put down with the lower accommodation then the deck saloon will "breathe more easily", but if its in the saloon then the lower accommodation will "breathe more easily". Extending the cockpit will allow it to "breathe more easily", raising the saloon floor will allow the engineroom to "breather more easily", and buying a bigger boat will allow you to "breathe more easily".
I can't believe you missed this crucial phrase that has appeared in every issue of MBY for the last year, its what makes this magazine, err, "breathe more easily".
Frankly if you are going to take such a cavalier attitude to boat testing (or breathing) then you might as well not bother.
You'll be missing the paragraph that says "we went out on a flat calm day, but crossing the photographers boat wake from a variety of different angles revealed no vices in the boats sea keeping" next and that would never do!
Back to boat loafing, err, testing college for you sir!
;-D
