I have a friend with a 1985 Angel 65' yacht that is one of the best built boats I have ever seen. She sailed around the world for 30 years on a custom-built sailboat before retiring to this yacht about 5 years ago, and I think she has more sea-sense and boat knowledge than I will ever accumulate.
I've looked at a number of other Angels, even before I purchased my current boat, and found that they were very well built. They used the same yards (as did many builders back then) that my Ocean Alexander were built in, and have some of the strongest and best interiors that I've seen.
However, just like engines and everything else on a boat, it's *how* it has been maintained in the years since it was built, not the brand or the pictures online.
