[PUP] Selen or Kadey Krogen?

[Anthony Thorne]

You are looking at two very different types of cruising, tropical and north
of 30. 2 very different boat configurations. Cockpits are not really that
useable, at sea they are cold and stinky, in port that are suntraps. If I
was going to sea like that I would opt Nordhavn or Kady K but both with
active stabilizers.

Best of Luck
