Thats good advice. We started in a 22 moved to a 34 4 years later and then a 40 in 4 more years. Go as big as you are comfortable then go bigger! Lol

It is not easy to sell your boat (for the money it is worth) to upgrade to a few feet more. Buy the boat you want to have. I don’t think sailing a 30 is that much different (more difficult) than a 27. Not to mention that a Pearson would never look as good as a C&C (-;).

As noted, the 30 is a much bigger boat and maybe not the best choice for a beginnner? My goal/plan is to learn her over the next 5-8 years on Lake Ontario and Seneca lake, and then consider taking her down for longer trips down the east coast cruising once the kids get older (currently 6 and 4). I'm thinking the C&c would clearly better meet that long term fantasy. I could start with the 27 then if it works out could move up in 5-8 years but wonder if it would be better to grow into a boat rather than grow out of one. Thanks again for your replies. Lisle
