Jaydh,
Good first hand info, thanks... All boats are clearly compromises. Initially I'm planning on cruising the carib for a season or 2 before heading to the S. Pacific. I'm trying to avoid having to sell the boat for something more suitable in a just a couple of years. Ideally, I'd like to find a cat that will (safely) take me beyond the Caribbean when the time comes.
The L380 is certainly on the small side for a transpac, but well proven that they can handle the job. In that size/price range they seem to offer a good balance of comfort, stability and seaworthiness. Of couse a smaller/cheaper boat can do it, but that may be a margin of safety and comfort I'm not willing to go to.
