Default looking for a sailboat to build

Hi,

I am considering building a sailboat,
and looking for some advice on what to build.

I am looking for something:
- That is easy to build. (stitch-n-glue??)
- Big enough for 4-5 people to sleep,
- Good enough to sail through The Aegean Sea
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Aegean_Sea_map.png)

Maybe you can suggest me what else to consider..?


I visited websites of people building Vegabond with stitch-n-glue
(www.bateau.com).
As, I have experience with buildind R/C Planes and the building process
looked similiar, which makes me feel comfortable with it. But I feel
like I need a bigger boat, maybe 10m.

Could you recommend a resource which compares different building
techniques.

The ultimate question is "Which boat to build ?"

Thanks,

Mustafa
