I'd like a boat that i could spend a few years sailing around the world
in. I was thinking about buying a 30' Beneteau 305. Would that be good
enough, or should I get something a bit bigger?

30' is big enough, but many experienced yachtsmen take the view that
Beneteau do not build for heavy long term use, but more for a couple of
weeks at a time in the summer in the Med. You see a lot of Beneteaux in the
Sth of France and all over the Med. You see far fewer in Northern Europe,
even in French waters.
