I am just beginning to explore getting into cruising, am newly retired, and
want to cruise on the waterways of the Pacific Northwest doing regular
overnight cruises for two people and occasionally 4. I have a boat budget of
about $50,000. Any recommendations as the best boat to buy would be
appreciated. I am open to new or used and will moor the boat at my local
marina. From the reading I have done so far I know I want a craft that is
first seaworthy, then reliable, and reasonably comfortable.

Thanks very much.

How much experience do you have with sailing (I'm assuming) and/or
cruising? There are lots of good quality boats out there for well
under $50K. Mono or multi interest? How much time do you want to spend
fixing or updating equipment/sails?

Just a few questions.... :-)
