Does anyone have experience/advise on Manitou or Compass for extended cruising.
Any feedback will be a bonus.

Thanks fellas, have viewed websites and a couple of boats, slowly formulating my own opinion. Lots of scrubbers about, overpriced and on the market for well over 6 mths. Wonder why 28 sails better than 29? Bit more research before I'm ready.

Looking at every web site I can reach, but primarily east coast, couple appear in NZ. Have tried both Compass and Manitou sites but no response to date. Viewed one compass in Port Douglas and a Manitou in Mackay, Manitou is restricted below to say the least but I've only seen in one. Compass appears more the go, can change layout better to suit my needs, but again info hard to get on performance and maint issues due to age. Prices also interesting, noted $2, $3 & $5K difference on the same boat with different brokers.
Anyway thanks for your replies, will keep looking.
