We had a look around a Hanse 348 last Saturday and it was so surprising how big that little boat was. We will be doing a test sail in 3 weeks in a Hanse 388 and will film it all on my sony (no wide-angle lenses so keep an eye out for that). hope that helps.

Beneteau less headspace, very light and good interieur, smaller mast. cheap but mostly the smallest Jeanneau less headspace, mostly very light with special interieur. expensive with less beam Bavaria much headspace, with good quality interieur but nothing special even, but best floor option of all. cheapest 2 lines, cruiser "beauty" and c "volumen" Dufour crazy designs and expensive but why? expensive... Hansa much headspace, balsa core (more quiet and stable) and much and speacial options. best bluewater quality with all u wish as option. Bavaria and Hansa have better Systems networked where the beneteau, jeaneau, dufour are (what u don t see, dont make u...) There are less differences when u don t think about details. Espeacially u can buy a bavaria and stuck the rest of ur money in do it urself upgrades u like.

15k for a single who don t live in marina is realistic.

Have you seen these with a huge Bimini ?

@@maxflight777 so you have to go outside to get out of the sun.

If you have no experience, you might be better starting with the Hanse 348, hope that helps.

No reason why not. BUT you need two people (both suitably trained) and you need to be the kind of person who minimises risks and is capable of good decision making skills.
