Hi Pete
Thanks for your reply. I have never sailed cc's and as one who like to have a boat sailing properly I take your point about get a good view of both sails. The reason I started looking at the 44cc was the extra weight and space it had over say the 411 which I though would suit longer distances and not be so tender in a blow. There are not many Beneteau 44cc around the UK, I think there were about 150 built so they must be all down in the Med. I had better check up on the endurance 44. The moody 54 looks great as a cc, but I guess any boat of that size does.
Thanks for your time, good sailing.
