Alerion Express 28; beautiful boat, sweet daysailer. But a cruising boat? I don't think so! Bristol 40; again a nice boat and very pretty, but very small for her size. Not a great cruiser Columbia 50; no personal experience, but I'm told is a bear to sail. A cruising boat has to sail sweetly...or at least be easy to sail. Freedom 40; delivered one years ago. Hated it offshore: it was unbalanced and a bear to reef. Certainly a game-changer, though.
