i don't believe a ketch is is required if you have runners to fold a part of the sail in a storm.

I guess everything twin translates into maintenance issues because the space and the cost of the CNB 76 should make it possible to have sets of twins for redundancy.

I would prefer the CNB 76 to the CNB 66, because it is a lot more spacious, if that could also be managed by just the family in an emergency.

The CNB 76 is a very good size. It is comfortable and spacious and easy to maintain, yet not too large to make it difficult to maneuver.

I find the Garcia 60 Exploration too cramped, whereas the Trehard 103 too unwieldy.

What would the typical customer be for the boat? I would want to sail around the world, for which the CNB boats have very well thought out, spacious and comfortable interiors, but, like the Garcia 60 Exploration, I'd want a cockpit on the deck, right behind the saloon, and another raised and forward-looking one in the saloon.

Of course privacy is an issue, but it would make sense to have a forward looking nav-station even inside the saloon for adverse weather in the polar regions or to shield oneself from storms.

I'm old, so would prefer to have a crew manage the boat, but the crew would still need an enclosed forward looking nav-station in adverse weather.
