I sail an elderly First 501, ex charter. She does not shout quality, but she was affordable and has done the job both in the uk and the med. I am not a fan of dinghy garages on yachts of this size. Why take up half the accommodation storing a large balloon? Ok, tenders hanging off the back are ugly and this is a good looking boat. Oh, hum, I can't afford one anyway but enjoyed the tour. I would love to see a test in case I win the lottery. 😂 PS if I do win I'll take the one without the balloon garage.
Hi again @ianscott3180, thanks for your thoughts on this one. Personally I would agree about the tender garage and would opt for the 50Cs version which is the same hull but has a large owners suite instead of the garage.
Thanks for your comment @septopus3516. I guess they have to be to a large part, but there are styles, functionality and of course quality which can differ hugely.

All, almost all sailing yachts are copy paste
