The "perfect boat" does not exist. It could always be a little bigger/smaller, roomier, have more storage and tankage, be faster and more stable. My Pearson 28 was a great starter boat/overnighter. My C&C 35/3 was an awesome boat, but small for offshore. My Hylas 44 is a great offshore boat with an aft queen that is great in-port, good sea berths, good tankage, extremely stable in a blow. The Hylas 49 adds more storage, larger cockpit and a sugar scoop to the attributes of the 44. By neither is a light air boat, and neither points like a C&C. But as they say, gentlemen don't sail to windward.
