Four singles. Also, I should have specified that I meant making a 3-4
day passage rather than, say, island hopping for that length of time.
Making a 3 or 4 day passage, presumably offshore, gets into a whole
bunch of other issues like seaworthiness and safety equipment which is
partially related to size also. Passage making, you will always have
two people on deck so you really only need bunks for two, but they
need to be good bunks with weather cloths/bunk boards, etc. You also
need room for everyone's gear plus your sails and other equipment.
Personally I'd want something over 30 ft and a really solid boat.
