We wanted a sailboat that could be motored with no wind. And- a length so it could be sailed( sails put up and down) by one person. The search is ongoing- looking at older boats as most have more character than the newer and less pricey. I started looking in Maine, then New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island. It was an adventure to look at comforts you think you need and in reality what 2 people can live with for 6-9 months. Some were eliminated for width and inside maneuverability. Draft can be an issue. Some of the waterways and marinas along the Great Loop have draft restrictions.
We narrowed down and decided that a motor sailor length 30-36' might work for our trip and pleasure sailing. Now the real search begins: length, width ,draft, functionality, and price- not easy to find. Next page
