André, I've found your boat:
http://www.amel.fr/pages-amel/edito.htm
Isn't she beautiful?!

She even speaks French!

Let us know when the christening date is so we can all bring the champagne
and caterers.....(c;

We'll be watching for her from:
"Lionheart"
Amel Sharki 41
Charleston, SC, USA

Her maiden crossing could be after the Med cruise bringing her home!.....
.....a proper ocean-going sailing vessel.

Larry, 3rd mate, Deck and Engineering...

She is marvelous ! What a sailboat, i wouldn't have any concern in sleeping
at night in the middle of the atlantic !

The only problem is that i have to save about the equivalent of 2
Toronto-Paris air ticket every month to be able to have her within 5 years
(grin)

Even in the Sharki, you feel totally safe. When you sit IN, and I mean IN,
the cockpit, the level of the sides of the cockpit are even with your
shoulders. (Of course, flying fish know that and fly OVER the coaming to
land in your lap, anyways, scaring the crap out of you on a midwatch.)
Amel forsaw this event and conveniently installed a freshwater washdown
hose at the base of the mizzen so you don't have to carry the awful flying
fish smell below to clean out your Speedos...(c;

Oh.....You were looking for recommendations for a boat. You didn't say it
had to be under a million Francs...or was that Quebec Francs??

You even get a beautifully mounted quartz-powered recording barometer....
