Having second thoughts of selling our hatteras but I would really like sail boating to Spain (hope my wife doesnt see this). Our 43 MY burns 3.5-4.0 gph at around 7 knots. Fuel burn has never been a deal breaker. Comfort and function has been tops for us. The aft enclosed (isenglass) sundeck has been great. The down side, its not easy to launch our dinghy. We got the hang of it though. There is always trade off's to any design. Check us out.
