I had the Cape Dory 25 to and it was an easy boat to handle, would steer itself easily and hove too like a baby going to sleep I sailed it from San Francisco to La Paz ,Mexico and back in 1985, but she was a much heavier boat and trying to compare to the lighter - shallower hulls I think is unrealistic.
