Performance of Noordkaper and Wanderer yachts

[Stickan]

I have had many different yachts, mainly very fast boats and sporty boats like Pogo 1 and 8.50 and a Dingo 2 and a Dehler 33. But I am getting old, 70, and two years ago I had serious hearth problems, but have recovered well. When I got ill I had a Dingo 2 which I sold and bought a Fisher 30. I have now begun looking for a sailing yacht again and have fallen for the Dutch Noordkapers and Wanderers designed by Martin Bekebrede. Most likely a Noordkaper 31C. Is there anyone on this forum that has any experience sailing Bekebrede yachts? I would expect them to be quite a lot better sailing boats than the Fishers, but how much? Fishers are in their own ways very good and the wise decision for me is to keep the Fisher, I know. But it is tempting to look for yet another yacht. My program is cruising in the Baltic Sea.

Have you found anyone with firsthand knowledge of their sailing performance?

There are some blogs written in dutch, good seaboats, but not fast. I have sold my Fisher 30 and bought an AWB for the first time, a Hanse 315 from 2006, they are rather fast and it is big enough for me. We have winter now so she is on the hard, I have ordered new high quality sails and is waiting for the spring.
