When I got my boat for cruising I bought a Newport 33 for the following
reasons:
Diesel engine
Wheel steering
Standing head room in the cabin
Roller furling genoa.
That's interesting. Exactly the same reasons we bought our Dawson 26 plus
it had a center cockpit. Though it had wheel steering, it also had a
transom hung rudder that could be retracted and a swing keel. An
absolutely perfect boat for a novice. You learn the easy painless way that
when the chart says there is no water there, there is in fact no water
there.
