    Default FS Kinney 'Pipedream' design and construction- Better than a Concordia?

    I have to say I agree with the restorer (see Full Spec's commentary)

    Concordia Yawl #1 is for sale, similarly priced. Which one would you buy?

    I never learned from a man who agreed with me.

    Not fair, Gareth, that one's a third the price of the other two.

    Java has much nicer lines. Unless you like straight sheer lines.

    True enough, four or more feet in length allows a bit more sweep to the sheer on a Concordia. And the smaller transom adds delicacy to the design missing from the other.
