AFter reading many posts on this thread I have concluded that people that are sail purists hate the M25 on sight. They are full of prejudice against it as it being "not a proper sailboat". The owner love if just for that reason.
If I were to buy one I would listen to actual owners (making sure they were actual owners). I see this same argument betweent brands of center console motorboats. If you don't own a (contender, interpid, sea Vee) your boat i s worthless piece of trash.
To each his own.
