Further, the cruisers (Catalina 25)though more comfortable just arent as fast.
I would probably sink if I could find a brand new Merit 25 for a reasonable price...  |
anything typically less than 30 feet - will not get you what you want I bet. Fast and comfortable in the sailing world are in my opinion - arch enemies... and at best you get a compromise... kinda like having a truck but wanting it to handle like a sports car...You can get alot of comprises but never a true blend of either...
