I seek your evaluation re this boat..
especially for singlehanded operation.

This kind of open ended question is always problematic because, other
than for the singlehanded use reference, you don't doesn't include any
information re. intended use (basically, as a day-sailor? for
primarily just informal around-the-cans racing? as an occasional or
frequent over-nighter or week-end short-distance cruiser? on a river?
a lake? etc., etc.) or about the apparent condition of the particular
boat and its sails/equipment one has in mind as distinguished from the
model and manufacturer in general.

The B 285 frequently is sailed singlehandedly, probably more often
than not.

User/owner reviews/comments probably can be found in the Sailnet
Beneteau "List" archives.
