Trade offs
The 350 is a wide boat. Given the width you gain a lot of space. If you have friends join you, the cockpit and companion way/stairs couldn't be designed much better. I spoke with a guy who had a 380 and now has a 350 which he likes much more and he single hands the boat. For hanging and cruising its hard to beat. If you race, not the best boat. Its not real happy with winds under 10mph, give it 15mph and you'll see a very happy boat. It doesn't like motoring into a heavy chop due to its wide beam, I find I need to motor sail with just the jib, opposed to directly motoring into a heavy chop, but it will scream and be well balanced. The 38 or the 36 would most likely sail better, but like always your dealing with trade offs. The 350 is very easy to move around in, cruise in, entertain in, even for four people to cruise for a week of two in. If cruising its a great boat, if you have a tendency to like to push the edge when sailing mabey not the best choice.
