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?

Way to go, Jeff. Beneteau is the world's top sailboat builder, making
cruisers, racers and custom yachts. But all of those folks don't like
classic monohull boats!
You heard it here first!

Yeah, sailing a dinghy is JUST like sailing a keelboat, Jeff!!!
Do you notice you've been abandoned in this thread? You've said so many
dumb things even Loco is keeping quiet. Then again Loco owns a fast
monohull (that can't be cruised!) that's an even worse choice than my
boat according to your criteria! Same goes for ALL of the monohulls
here!
Oh, Jeff...in your failed attempts to attack me...you've managed to hit
everyone else with your stray idiot bullets!
