Don't want to start (yet) another ben/jen/bav rant but just read an interesting article in the French Voille Et Voillers (spelling probably wrong) mag about a Beneteau 411 that has just completed an Atlantic circuit including rounding the horn. Hit by one storm which lasted for 4 days with 24 hours of force 11. Boat was twice over on her side but came through just fine. Skipper felt the boat was probably not designed for such conditions but performed very well considering. Also said that the lightness helped the boat ride the waves better rather than sinking down into them. Also it was the shoal draft version.
