I find my 30-footer the perfect size for "extended" day cruising and
several
overnights. It's big enough to be comfortable, yet it's small enough to
make
single-handing a breeze in most conditions.


Pat and I find our 28' comfortable for about a month at a time, our max
cruise so far. Pat thinks Xan's satisfactory for 2-3 months at a clip, but
time will tell.

I have yet to do anything approaching that on my Sabre. Too much going on
with teaching and other non-sailing activities. At some point, I'd like to
take a more extended trip. I would not hesitate to take her to Mexico (as
far as reliability goes), but would probably not do more than coastal cruise
to get there vs. non-stop or similar.
