erickson 26 , beneteau 26 or cat-ketch

[gmrfreespirit]

Hi,
We live on cape cod and now that the kids have finished college, we have been looking to buy a sailboat.
Our experience is with day sailors and a force five (fun). We have been looking at Erickson 26-wing keel, Beneteau first 26 fin keel, and now found a cat-ketch. any input would be appreciated. Our waters up here, we have been told is tricky. We are looking for fun sailing, some overnights, and a boat we can enjoy till we get comfortable.
