Beneteau First 35 s5

I''m not a fan of wing keels and not a fan of the smaller Bene''s, say under 30ft. My starter boat was a 235...and for its length it beat the Catalina in the same class. Close friends own 32s and 35s boats. The chap with the 35s was much happier than the guy with the 32s.

JeffH gives good advice. The 35s is an able coastal cruiser but they tend to be a little pricey. Would I take one across the pond?
Maybe.
