Dwight, The Oceanis series, which I think is what is most fleets, don't compare to our boats. The 393 with in-mast furling rates 150 on the Chesapeake. They look like they are designed from the inside out - what do we need to put in the cabin, and then let's build a hull around it - instead of designing a sailboat and then an interior. I'd be frustrated at the boat's performance the entire time and it would detract from the entire vacation. Now, if they chartered the First series, I'd be fine with that!
Just one man's opinion!
