I have a 46 fly but also sailed 40 open. That's a great
boat and sail better than FP or
Lagoon. I don't know the
price elsewhere but here it cost parity to same size
Lagoon and a bit cheaper than FP.

helm station is not a problem for me and I enjoy it on my
Catana. I never understood why so many people hate it but this is a long discussion..
My wife found the kitchen not very practical with unsufficient working area.
In term of finish, they are probably a bit better than Lagoons , a bit worse than FP's.
