Racing boats in that size range typically sail with a crew of about 26 people. You can reduce that number considerably with automated sail handling systems and power operated winches but if any of that equipment becomes disabled, and eventually it will, you still need a bunch of folks to take over and do it the old fashioned way. We met a couple last year in he Caribbean who had sailed around the world on a 35 foot sloop. They claimed it was the ideal size because the sails were still small enough to be handled by two people in any conditions. |
