In December my wife and me are moving to Bermuda and I would like to
learn to sail. I have looked on the net and think a 28-30 foot used
sailboat would be nice to own. Is this a good size to learn on? Also to
buy a boat in Bermuda is much more costly than in the US so I thought
about buyin US and have someone sail it to Bermuda. Is this a large
enough craft for the trip and are there good sailors than can be hired
to do this for me. I had heard that the duties in Bermuda are over 30%
but if the vessel arrives under its own power it is taxed less or not
at all.

Thanks for any help you might provide

A lot depends on how you plan to use it once you are there. day sailing /
overnighting / blue water or coastal. That will also determine what
features you need to look for in a boat.
