I absolutely love mine, nippy, well balanced, and I think, very pretty too, ... shame she’s got to go now because I already bought something bigger with more berths for extended cruising with more of the family. Can be considered small down below by some standards but I still think she’s the nicest boat I’ve had. If I could afford to keep both boats I would!!!

Cheers kevo.you rate them then?. They seem a good bit of boat for the money.

great sea boat. As KevO has said they are a little cramped below but built very well and provided the usual suspects engine/rig/sails are ok they will take you anywhere.
Pretty to look at narrow stern and goes to wind like it is on rails. 50% ballast ratio. mine is 50 years old and still going strong. Great value for money but shop around and get a clean well loved one

Here is a link to Littlepati's previous thread re her next boat - you are certainly considering a broad range, from motorsailers to Hustlers, and everything in between.
Next boat

Is your budget still the same, up to approx GBP 15k?

Hustler 30's are very pretty - and there is no denying that they do sail well. Here is some info on them for reference.

Yes this is very true I will consider most boats in the size and budget. I have at least six on the list. Budgets the same. But the way I'm not a lady ????
