I know nothing about them - they may be brilliant boats, but boy, it sure did get a beating with the ugly stick!
Not that that should put you off if it fits in other ways. Our Catalac's no oil painting, but she's a great boat.

Cannot find any reference tothe underwater shape…..every boat is a compromise

To own that you would have to make so many compromises it wouldn't be true, ugly doesn't even start to describe it and it had better have a good done because you won't be doing much sailing plus you had better start that engine maintenance class.

That looks like the sort of advice you would give Viago when he was asking you if you though marriage was a good idea

You started this thread at 10.16. It's not yet lunchtime and you've already talked yourself out of buying. I think that's a record.

No I think I talked some sense into him.

Wandsworth & I mean this kindly. How many Years have you been posting "what boat should I buy" threads?
And how many seasons worth of enjoyment could you have had already by now, if you just followed through with, frankly any purchase 5 years ago?
Life's short my friend - if you actually want to sail, any circa 26ft boat is going to be much of a muchness - just get one bought and get some enjoyment before it's too late.

Has it not occurred to you that he might just get as much fun winding the forum up every time he posts this carp?
You have to admit. We do fall for it.

Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he.

I've long suspected that the user known as Wansworth is just an AI-driven bot that scours the web for boat ads and posts them here. The algorithm needs tweaking, however, as it only ever shows vessels that he could and would buy if he actually existed.Has it not occurred to you that he might just get as much fun winding the forum up every time he posts this carp?

I'm convinced he's on commission from the sellers to re-post their adds on here.

It's even got a conservatory!*
I like it, and think it could be a good be a good practical boat for its size.
Agree would want to see th underwater profile.
(*Viago will be jealous!)

Apparently the Kirie boatyard (in Vendee, France), built the Feeling yachts.

And it's got the high coachroof and hand rails you were looking for. What are you waiting for?
Wansworth

Yes,that’s what was initially attractive but without more info on the underwater bit ,cannot see it being anything but a smooth water boat without too much wind

I doubt it. Why would it be?
It's a motor-sailer from a successful and respected builder. it has a big engine, and presumably modest rig and commodious accommodation for its small LOA. It won't be a greyhound, but in your position I wouldn't want that. (And my own motor-sailer sails very well, and has surprised a series of experienced reviewers over the years with its speed and other qualities under sail.) The canopy over the steering position would be a boon in hot sun, rain and wind.
It would be nice to see the underwater hull shape, but I doubt it would be anything sufficiently outrageous to put you off, and you would presumably see that when you inspect the yacht (assuming it's ashore).
Here a small motor-sailer (LM24) showing you don't need smooth water without too much wind.
. . . and another LM24 motor-sailing in smooth water
. . . and an LM23 in bouncy conditions
