Cats don't scale well below 35 - most are too narrow and don't have
appropriate bridge
(under deck) clearance.

If you want a passagemaker, a Prout 37 has made as many circumnavigations
as almost any
other boat.

But you tell us, how many long passages have you made, and what kind of
boat are you
looking for?

I've made afew coastal trips in a Beneteau 32 footer, longer passages in a
47.7 footer.
Been on a smaller sport cat once, absolutely loved it.

All in all, I think 12 coastal, and 4 long passages.

Looking for something that can take the weather reasonably well, alittle
under 50 feet,
with good cruising ammenities, as well as a strong sail, somewhere over 500
sq. ft. to the sail.

Any ideas?
