It is hard to beat an Amel, especially if you are living in
Europe.
I looked hard at Amels, I finally went with a
Hylas.
Downside of a
ketch is twice the
rigging,
hardware and increased
maintenance over a
sloop. Knowing what I know now, if I found a decent Amel
sloop, I would seriously consider it.
However I am very happy with my
Hylas center
cockpit sloop.
