Danny, I may be preaching to the choir here and you may have already thought of this but Oyster 47 handling vs. Tartan 40 handling is a different order of magnitude in close maneuvering. Not the size per se, but the weight. A thrusting bow may something to look for.

I Really like how it looks! Ticks a lot of boxes! If I can stay away from the newer flat bottoms, I would be really happy! I got to keep the admiral happy though... She did find a Trinella that looks really nice, it a Ron Holland design. So, there is hope! ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Andrew Burton via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> To: Stus-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> Cc: Andrew Burton <a.burton.sai...@gmail.com<mailto:a.burton.sai...@gmail.com>> Subject: Stus-List Re: Boatless again Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2023 15:00:40 -0500 Hi Danny, I think an Oyster 47 might check those boxes. Good-sailing, we'll-built boat and very comfy. I made fairly quick passages to Antigua and back on one a few years ago. If you need to be more performance-oriented, there's a sister to Masquerade (Baltic 47) around that I bet will be on the market some day in the not too distant future.
