Eric, I know what you mean-the idea of a real offshore boat that is also very shoal is very attractive. I am a big fan of the Garcia line in particular, the Ovnis are nice but the styling is a little too much for me. There are some others along those lines, Caroff and some lesser known mostly French design/builds. Not exactly "classic looking" for the most part but everyone I've ever known who has sailed one-and many have done serious offshore voyaging-love their boats. I think the 46 or 47' Garcia is about perfect for me-prefer the twin rudder version-a little short on dough, but pretty long on knowledge, experience and desire...donations anyone?anyone?....
