I think AusCan nailed it regarding Jolie. Everytime I come across this boat I have forgotten why I wouldn't buy it. It sure is a man"s boat, or at least a very frugal thinking woman's boat. If I were single it would be a great boat, but my Admiral wants softer appointments, even at the cost of blue-water capability. We can't afford both.
In my opinion, Pooh is a finer finished vessel, but would still appeal to a similar crowd. It's relatively narrow beam makes the boat intentions obvious, and there again, we give rise to an impression of what the vessel was built for. I like them both very much, but only for the type of cruising they appear designed for, namely, a greater, more economical blue-water ability at the cost of a narrower beam and a bit deeper draft.
