Hi I have been lurking these forums for some time and have gleaned lots of useful information, I thank you all for that.
I have chartered bare boat yachts in the Med for many years but as retirement approaches I am looking to purchase a yacht for long term cruising in the Med.
Although I've only sailed mono's I feel a cat would best suit my needs. Whilst I've been looking at Prouts and other UK built cats I have come across a 1989 French built Hobart 36, in the Med. A Google search for "Hobart" reveals nothing, if any body is familiar with this model my questions are:
Compared to a Prout 37
What is the build quality
What are the sailing characteristics
Any help would be useful as checking/surveying on site will be expensive just to find its a non starter.
