A boat in the thirty foot range, with full cruising set-up. Cabin,
galley, bunks, head, really isn't a day sailer.

Sure it is, Thom. We day sailed today. Suzanne is just over 5 months pregnant
and she was able to go below and take a cat nap while I enjoyed the freshening
breeze. When we returned we enjoyed some other below decks fun. We use the
cabin and even more so on our weekend trips.
It's up to us how we use her, but most importantly, Alien is sailed several
times a week while most boats just sit, or like Scotty Potti's boat, miss some
of the best wind of the year.
A boats accomodations offers chances at longer trips, but it's not mandatory.
We slept aboard plenty last year.
