WWP15 vs. Manta 16 vs. Victoria 18

Help in choosing the best option

Context: The impossible happened and I got a drydock at the lake of Zurich City (Switzerland, not Illinois) for a sailboat with the maximum dimensions of width 1.79m, length 6m. For anything longer, I'd have to wait around 7-10 years more. I don't even know if I'll live that long. I had to take it.

Having sailed in nothing less than 34ft. with thousands of miles, I can't sit in something that doesn't make me feel independent. Meaning, I should be able to sleep (even if supercramped), have a mini-solar (20-40W, which I prepared already), a fan if it gets too hot, and have a little camping stove inside. Without those, a boat doesn't really feel like a boat. Don't ask where the toilet is.

Issue: Now the challenge is to find a boat that resembles a nice bluewater cruiser (!) within those dimensions. Sailboatdata pulled up a few options:

• West Wight Potter 15: I know this boat, and its super slow and super cramped. Its not that tough to find one in the UK, and virtually impossible in Switzerland/Germany. Here's the specs - https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/we...tter-15-mk-ii/

• Manta 16: Looks as if it has more interior space. https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/manta-16/ Anyone sailed this before?

• Victoria 18: Looks sexy. No idea where to find one. https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/victoria-18/

All opinions welcome...if you ever used any of the boats above, ping me!
