Ok, so situations change and the boat needs to change with it. Here’s the criteria…
Draft - no more than 4.5’ Assume moderate air (`10-15 knots true) sailed by a crew of 2 Easy to daysail, PHRF competitive Cost < $25k Coastal cruising only. Primarily daysailing - quick, easy evenings sails, occasional weekend trips Good in a chop No restriction on age Outboard power is just too ugly, inboard please Bigger the cockpit the better but remember weekender constraint So that’s it. What would you do? Leading candidate right now is a Beneteau first 285.
