Dear PSC,

      We wanted to thank you for your hospitality at the PSC Open House in February.

      I have long wanted to let you know how much my husband, Sam, and I have enjoyed our PSC 34, Grace. On my first offshore trip, which was also the first time I had sailed at night, we had strong winds, 35 to 40 knots, and 10-12 foot seas, but we were sailing under a full October moon, and with one reef in the main and the Yankee up, the boat was perfectly balanced. Standing alone at the helm on my first ever-nighttime watch, with the world illuminated by moonbeams, the sound of the wind and the waves surrounding us, and the steady, rhythmic motion of the boat carrying us along, was an epiphany of my life. It was like riding on the back of a dolphin, so natural, so right. When my husband, Sam, woke up to take his watch, he began waxing poetic, not about the beauty of the night, but about your design. I didn't understand it at the time, and didn't appreciate the way the boat was handling. It wasn't until we joined up with friends from our yacht club who had sailed the same route and began discussing our trip that I realized that we had an entirely different experience because of the boat we were in. When we met for dinner, everyone was grim and fairly roughed up, complaining about how boisterous the seas had been. Grace was the second smallest boat in the group, and only one other boat was crewed by a husband and wife alone. Being such a novice sailor (I think I was the only one of the group who had never been offshore before), I still didn't fully realize what a difference boat design made. When I piped up with "We liked it, it was wonderful!" They were stunned, and even more so when I told them that I (a real novice) hand steered on my watches. Out of ten boats that made the trip, Sam and Grace and I seemed to be the only ones who had a good experience. The boat is an absolute delight to sail. She is forgiving, strong, and elegantly beautiful.. She makes my heart sing every time I see her.
