boatmonkey is on a distinguished road
I chimed in to another post about the Dehler 101 I just bought and am loving a lot.

Lots of quality space below for longer crusing (can sleep 7!) with a great sized cockpit because hey, that's where you sail right? It's fast enough for club racing (IOR design of the 70's-80's). I sail single handed at times and find the boat quite easy to handle given the fractional rig and placement of everything needed at the tiller. I did replace the mid cockpit traveler with a Harken system but other than that, it's a great sailing in it's stock config.

if you have 30K or so to spend, you'll get a lot of boat for your money.

Happy to post pics if you'd like to see more of her.
