Step up 5 feet to hit your requirements... I'd strongly recommend a Niagara

That's a pretty good boat too.... Depending on what you're
comparing to, I'd think about using the word "fast" though...

... Solid fast racer cruiser. They have a design with crew berths beside the
companionway

I actually don't like them there. Unless you sleep with your
head down in the box, you get wet any time anybody opens the
c'way.

.... The galley and head are backed to each other amidships. Makes
for easy and simple plumbing.

And if you don't like the cook's results, it makes disposal
quick & easy too

.... The forward cabin/Galley can be closed off from
the active section.Large sail locker up front. Rod Rigging. Fin Keeler. Your
7 knot average requirement is achievable with this boat.


I thought your motto was "Death to fin keelers"? But this is
certainly one of the handsomer & more capable boats suggested.
