To follow my beloved Sadler 32 I am minded to go for a (more) ocean capable boat and the two that I seem to keep coming down to are those mentioned above.
Despite all but identical hull shapes the Tradewind weighs in almost 2T more than the Biscay albeit with a commensurate increase in sail area (assuming the conventional rigs)
Both have tragic waterline lengths and are thus speed restricted.
Anyone able to compare the virtues of these two? Virtues such as domestic, practical, seakeeping, economic? What is there to choose between them?
I imagine bugger-all but the small diferences people who know would be illuminating.
