You haven't even made "modest" yet. Look around your marina.

Hmmm. I see two boats, slip 258, a well respected heart surgeon who happily
sails a Catalina 30, early 80s. An Alberg 30 belongs one of the biggest
property owners on the island-beautifully kept. Plenty of Pearsons, J-Boats and
C&Cs as well as the upper crust of Shannon, PS, Island Packet. The Beneteau's
are rarely sailed, always there when we leave, still docked when we return. A
new 39 appears to be little more than dockside condo space.
Why not ask on the Sailnet Beneteau list for a comparison of Beneteau and C&C
and what response you get. The folks there seem to think a lot of "old" C&Cs.
Dare to find out
