Good luck finding that unicorn.

There was one for sale in AZ recently listed in the classifieds. Not sure who picked it up.

Agree on the U20 recommendation. Seems like a great boat for what you need.
If you get one and need some sails, feel free to reach out.

Was also looking at the Beneteau first 24. Just wish the made it with a bit smaller cabin and a larger cockpit.

I did a sea trial in one in 2020 and absolutely loved it. Similar SA/D as a Melges 24 but with more creature comforts and a much more usable keel mechanism. I went for a bigger boat in the end but cannot wait to pick up a 24 when I downsize and give up RTC racing in a few years.
