I have decided to write in English even its not my language to get to more people, so here is the beggining of our story.
After doing the Baja Haha double handed my wife Sara and myself in our Beneteau First 45 IATAIA II we decide to switch from Racer cruisers to a real cruiser, looking for comfort during sailing, since Iataia is a very nice boat that going toward the wind is just to "alive" and fight the waves with big splashes, and running from the wind if its blowing hard is much of a handfull for us to handle comfortably.
We began our internet search and began to create our possible boat list, Southerly, Hylas, Allures, Ovni, Passport, Amell, Garcia, etc. On base of our need/ want list.
Aluminum? FRP glass? , lifting keel vs full keel? Ketch vs cutter vs sloop vs Solent. Interior design, safety, easy of handling, etc, etc.and from there on
