Am looking for a fast monohull around 32-35 ft for singlehanded
cruising. Know about J-Boats already, but wonder about all the
Jeanneaus and Hanse-boats and the million others to pick from. Price
is no great concern. Prefer some nice accomodations below, with wood,
and headroom for someone 6'1".
==================================
There are other considerations that you need to account for:
Offshore or protected water?
Duration of cruise? 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years?
Number of crew and experience?
Most of the truly fast boats in that size range are light weight and
need to stay that way to maintain their speed advantage. They also
depend on flying a spinnaker for off wind speed, and crew weight on
the rail for upwind performance.
I'd be inclined to recommend an older, medium displacement boat such
as the Pearson 10M or C&C 35 Mk 2. Both of these boats have decent
performance and accomodations, and can also be sailed well with 2
people.
