Great. When you come up you must visit the steam boat museum. They have the actual Amazon.
Now then. Which is best? Well sailing wise Ransome says Amazon is the better sailor in his books. He mentions that John watched as they ran with the wind and noticed how much better she was becuase she had a centreboard (it's in the book somewhere). So John thinks Amazon is the better boat.
