I'm still digging the Westsails!
This 32 survived The Perfect Storm after her crew abandoned her.
S/V Fiona is a 42 which has sailed a quarter million miles as of October 2012. Here are some really interesting videos shot aboard Fiona. Captain Eric says she's slow for a boat but fast for a house.
I find these boats very attractive. Here are some specs:
