Been down in Hamble Marina and also Shamrock Quay (Also in Southampton) this weekend looking at a variety of yachts.
Beneteau 323 and a 343, both nice yachts, reasonably priced for their years (2004 and 2005 respectively) but I definately feel that 3 cabins is a much better option for me with my family considerations.
The beauty of the bunch though was a Jeaneau Sun Legend 41... really well maintained for a 1988 yacht and well within budget. I must confess that if I had the money now I would have bought her there and then.
The main point I liked was the space in the rear cabins, really very high throughout and did not contain a coffin section like the Bavaria 38 I was on recently. Shower and sink in both rear cabins (on top of the main heads in the fore) seemed a bit of a waste of space though, storage/lockers would have been better.
For the first time in a while I am starting to feel that this dream is coming a step towards reality.
