Out for a stroll and will ad 3:

A Contessa 31. Extremely capable and faster than expected. Became a bit famous when, in 1978, 5 entered the disastrous Festnet race and all 5 returned...while multiple boats sunk or were abandoned and lives were lost.
Multiple circumnavigations to their credit.

An Albert 30. Just a sweet sweet boat! Again, classic lines, extremely seaworthy with multiple circumnavigations to its credit. The designer of Cape Horn self steering sailed his "around" to test the product, was rolled, dismasted, repaired and carried on!
