Umm, yeah, what they said. Got me an LF38. The first thing I did with
this boat was set the rig up for single handing. With a few exceptions,
I've single handed it for 12 years. Even with passenger-type crew,
you're single handing. If you're on watch alone at night, you're single
handing. Someone on this thread just said that he wouldn't want to sail
a boat that wasn't rigged for short handed sailing, and I concur.
I've seen 30 foot boats that I couldn't single hand, because I'd need
ten foot arms. It's all about the rig.

I sail a close relative of the 38, a '79 Landfall 38; often single-handed.
I've run all the lines back to the cockpit, and with a decent wheelpilot, the
boat is easy to single-hand.
