[Wakadui]

Anyone know the difference/benefits in hull forms between the Beneteau 49 and First 50?

Entry?
Form stability?
Comfort in rough seas?

I have attached the VPP figures for both the First 50 and the Beneteau 49 standard rig (furling main). I have the performance "tall rig" Beneteau 49 and while I haven't tested it against a First 50 the conventional rig combined with the tall rig she really flies.
