But this is a MATCH. It's designed for performance over security, quality
and cost. It happens "every day" on performance boats. Just looking at the
keel design you can tell it's not the designed to last nor to blue water
sailing.

I'm talking Bavaria Cruiser vs B Oceanis Clipper.

No doubt that B. First is one of the better performance cruisers.

Would you mind telling us what's your opinion based at? I've never sailed
a Bavaria, but I've been to them in boat shows. It seemed to me that at
least deck-equipment were much better in Beneteau First -line than in
Bavarias. According to this wast experience I have - I'd have Beneteau
First over Bavaria anyday
