I am in Miami beach for a long weekend. Friday was raining so we spent the afternoon at the boat show. Just out of curiosity we went on a Catalina 38, several Bennes, Jenneaus, a Tartan 41 and a Hylas 46 cc.
My business partner has a Bebe 39/3, so that was my point of reference. I was shocked at how stripped down the Benne and Jennaueus looked inside and on deck. The Jenneau 40 or 41 had 2 cabins, 2 heads and no storage. The 38 had one cabin top winch to port, and for the starboard clutches had cheek block so you could run the lines to the port winch. It only had a 2 burner stove that was nearly useless. The Tartan had a maple interior, a nice layout but very little storage. The Catalina had the best layout and interior finish of all of them. More $$ than the Bennes, less than the Tartan. The Hylas was spectacular, as was the price. It was an owner's boat and he had added every option imaginable, bringing the price up to close to 900k! Didn't look at much gear. Out of curiosity I asked Garhauer for a price on a new traveler. He said for 475 if I sent him the old one he would drill the new one to fit. Maybe next year!
