As planing
monohulls do exist (Mike Plants boat was such), I expect some bright
person to develop such a thing for cruising eventually, not sure how.

Many cruisers will plane given the right conditions, but they tend to
be racer cruisers with the flatter bottoms condusive to planing.
J-Boats come to mind, and yes, many people cruise them "racing style",
although their basic Spartan layout bugs some people (me, I like the
idea of cleaning the entire cabin with half a bottle of Windex G). BRBR


Any suggestions for the best "racer/cruiser"
under 30' with retractable keel or centerboard??
thanks
