I got talked into racing a Wednesday night season on a Benateau
50.....the boat intrigued me.....you needed two crew just to trim the
main...one on the main sheet via winch and one on the traveler.....but
when we came came in and tied up, heat everywhere when you needed it,
hot popcorn from the microwave, two heads, and the Playboy channel on
the big screen TV. And the owner had an open bar. What's not to like?
Some years back we raced a Beneteau 28.5 extensively.....it was a new
boat when we raced it....I really liked that boat a lot....a lot of boat
for under 30' and it sailed really well....don't know how long their
longevity will stand up compared to the C&C's .
Nevertheless, I still covet my C&C.....and I spent a lot less $$$ than a
new Beneteau 28.5' or 50'.

Spent a week cruising on a Beneteau 47. Like driving a bus or a big
RV. On the other hand, having a private stateroom with dedicated air
conditioning and head was nice.
