Folks who really love classic monohulls wouldn't buy a bendy.
Remember, my first larger boat was an Alberg style, my next was a
Nonsuch catboat. I don't see a need for a larger sailboat, so my next
will probably be a true classic, like a Marshall or Alerion.

However, for now, a family vacation cruiser it the best boat. When I
want to heel, I can sail one of my dinghies.
BTW, who do you think championed multis in the US over 100 years ago?
