I'm on recon now, keeping an open mind. I know I want something big enough

to sail the coastline. Ulterior motive at the moment is to get wifey to see
how nice a bigger boat interior would be. Would be nice to stand in the
cabin (at least for her, she's 5'4", I'm 6'4", but don't mind ducking), a
head with a door, a real galley, yadda yadda.

If you are interested in an older freshwater Sabre 28 that has been
repowered and well maintained I can point you in the right direction.
The father of a friend of mine is selling his. The boat is in
Michigan.

thanks, I'll know more after next weekend.

If you don't mind a pilothouse you could look at a Gulf 32 Pilothouse.
It's NOT a motorsailor, it's a pilothouse sailboat.
Ask Old Thom about them. He has a Gulf 29 pilothouse and test sailed
a Gulf 32.

I believe that the Gulf 29 is more of a real sailboat than the charming 32. We
looked at them at one point, but they are dogs in anything below 12-13 knots.

Not a bad idea, especially since I much prefer cool to cold weather sailing.
