...that would be getting too big for me to solo and maintain. Likely not that much different, but I have to admit part of me is scared of the jump, the 24 is so easy to handle and maintain, I'm worried I'm biting off a lot more effort rather than more sailing! There is more maintenance, that's for sure; sails cost more, etc. But I wouldn't be too worried about going from the 24 to even a 35. You'll find the boats share many of the same characteristics and after a brief, steep learning curve you'll be tossing whatever boat you get around docks like you've never been on another. That's one of the nice things about c&C designs; they are very sweet boats to handle. With a bigger boat, you just have to anticipate maneuvers a little more and allow extra time to complete them. That being said, I hope you find the 30 you're looking at is the boat of your dreams. Aren't they one of the prettiest boats on the water?
