Victoria /Morris Francis 26... Any Experience?

[Lakota]

New to forum... first post.

I've sailed for 38 years. Cruised for most of it, and raced 10 years. Have owned a Columbia 26, Southern Cross 31, Tartan 3500, and a Beneteau 36.7 in that order.

Now in full retirement, looking for an affordable cruiser to sail in the Chesapeake and possibly further.

Presently looking at another Southern Cross 31, a Pacific Seacraft Dana 24, and a Victoria/Morris Francis 26.

I'd love to hear any of your experience with the Dana or Francis.

Thanks in advance and happy to join the forum.
