I find it interesting that there are really so few good designs out
there for "spirited" family sailing.
If you know how to sail well, it's easier to get a boat to feel "spirited."
... Consider my not-so-demanding
requirements:
1) 32-36 foot vessel
2) Enclosed aft cabin
3) SA/D suitable for light air work..at least 17 or 18
4) PHRF below 150 or better
5) Reasonable build quality.
6) Price around 70K or less.
Now...we have a few Beneteau first series, a few Kirie Elites, an
Express 35....most of which are tough to find in good shape. A new C&C
99 would be perfect, but I can't justify another 50-60K for a boat that
is only used half the year. I see more European designs, like the
Jeanneau and Kirie/Feelings that make a lot more sense and offer more
speed with better accomodation for a family, but they're rarely found
here.
That's because you're a clueless dweeb, Bobsprit. You don't know what to
look for, or where to look, and with the attitude you've displayed for
year, you'll probably never learn.
But I want to help, or at least try. If you start by knowing what you're
looking for, that's a good start. Here is a list that is not
all-inclusive, but should give an idea of the very large number of boat
designs that meet your criteria. I cut off the list at SA18.
