Kelt 620... or Dehler Varianta 65?

[messias]

Hi everyone,

After successfully converting the wife and daughter to boating with a 6.1mt fixed keel open boat, it is time to move on to "one with a lid", so I am about to purchase another new-to-me" boat.

The requirements are for it to be a trailer-sailer and offer the greatest possible comfort so that wife and daughter continue enjoying sailing.
But... since I have a very modest car and a trailer that can only pull 1300kg (that being boat and trailer, so roughly only 1000Kg of boat) my options are truly limited.

From what I could find and due to my location (Europe) I have narrowed it down to 2, possibly 3 boats.


Dehler Varianta 65
Kelt 620
Jeanneau flirt (the 3rd option)

I have never sailed any of these boats, so if you have any suggestions, first hand experience with any, please advise.

On a personal level I would go for the Dehler, but is seems that the Kelt and Jeanneau have a bit more space... albeit being uglier boats for me.

Any thoughts?
