That Farr 30 would be a handful though and you would need an experienced crew to race it to its potential. Lots of them for sale now though at decent prices. I am in the same predicament as you. I am looking for the next boat and not sure what compromises I want to make. I did much more day sailing and racing on my 29-2 than cruising, so I think that is where my emphasis will be. I kind of like the J92S for the light air we get on the Chesapeake. Sill if C&C could sell enough of the 101's to get a one design fleet that might be the ticket, but it didn't happen for the C&C 99 or the 115. They started a one design fleet and it sort of fizzled. The 99's race PHRF in our area but seem to struggle. I may just go to the lower end of the spectrum and forget about cruising and get a new J70 for spirited one design racing. There are 40 of them signed up for Key West and Annapolis has 27 in the fleet already.
