Hiya, I finally bought a Samphire 26, It needs a little work but its a nice sturdy boat.

Behave

Southampton boat show coming up, always good so you can see the boats and talk to people who know!

The Hurley will go wherever you want her to go (might not be too comfy though) there has been several Hurley 22 complete circumnavigations!! (Think one was also in the original Ostar (now transat). But for that she is not the fastest boat on the water.

The Achilles is pretty seaworthy too and has either one or 3 keels! There is an owners association on the net and on it there is a report of one guy taking his 24 to the Azores (or canaries I forget exactly but longer that cross channel anyway!)

as for the other 2 they were more aimed at the 1/4ton rating so are considerably faster, arguably more fun but could prove to be more of a handful if you want to go out sailing solo...  

 there should be plenty of info out there, jus go have a look round some examples an see which ones tick your boxes on sight. (an speaking to owners too would be helpfull)

 

Good luck in your search!

 

Take a look around, try and get some time on each of them

Try getting sails on boats that are in your price range, and for sale as well .. so you can check thats boats own "individual" quirks before you buy it.

Good luck hunting!
