Those Beneteaus are nice boats. Very comfortable. I love the skylight windows on the deckhouse. If I were to get a Keelboat (unlikely) I'd opt for the Beneteau Figaro. They are 30' and designed to solo race around the world.
I sail lots of different boats.
Including but not limited to..
Personal boats - my preferred boats of choice - what I sail in MY free time.
-Foiling Moth (shown)
-International 14 skiff (second vid- next post)
Boats I teach on during my sailing program:
-Club 420 (teach/coach)
-Laser (teach/coach)
-Lightning (teach/coach)
Keel Boats: (racing primarily)
-J-30
-J-35
-Shields
-8 meter
Here's a video of the moth.

Man it was so cool, I envy them.. On the other hand, they live on it.. They rent out their house in Fairfax, VA to an officer in the Army and take the boat down to the Bahamas in November for the winter, than sail back up the inner coastal waterway in mayish "depending on the current".. Its those 2 and their 2 border collies..
Me and the wife have bullshitted about getting a starter craft, a small 25 ft beneteau.. Priced them out at around 30k for a decent older model... But now I think we might have to wait.
