    Ian,

    No personal experience, but based on the numbers, I would say it
    might not be the best. Capsize ratio is getting up there, comfort
    factor fairly low and acceleration quite high.

    NAME: BENETEAU OCEANIS 461

    DESIGNER: FARR

    BEAM: 13.9 feet
                    
    DISPLACEMENT: 20944 pounds
                    
    SAIL AREA: 907 square feet

    CAPSIZE RISK = 1.95
                    
    COMFORT FACTOR = 23.6
