I really think that "physical attributes" do not make that much difference. , like the comment about skeg rudders, Designs change as demand,material science and costs change.
You can circumnavigate today in almost anything and hence the differences come down to mainly personal preferences or perhaps
boat ideology.
There is no "perfect
offshore cruiser", there is only the one that
you like and that
you are happy with the compromises.
Dont get hung-up on specifications, its the ultimate sign of a
newbie in my experience. Go sailing and build experience, that experience will then inform you of the choices that matter for you ( and who ever else
sails with you).
Then with that experience, you can come back on here and bore the rest of us with you view on your "best "
boat. ( ie the one you own now)
