If you've raced you would probably love "cruising" a J30 or most Js for that matter. C&C 30s and 33s also make that "glorified daysailer" mark in that they are safe and stable, but still can be actively sailed fast. If your accomodations don't need to exceed an Origo, a Koolatron and a few sleeping bags, you have a lot of choice also in the 1/4 tonner fleet, although headroom's an issue. Solo and getting on a bit, I would say 33 feet is a good practical limit, because you have to move fast or be quite skilled indeed to dock alone with something much bigger in most fast cruisers. A Westsail 32 or a Contessa, on the other hand, will just hit the dock and stop. G R. |
