Chris — I’ll chime in in favor of the 30mkI, having owned a 1981 for several years before we moved up to our Landfall 38. The 30 was my first boat, and I was worried about single-handing her; when I first came aboard, it seemed enormous! But learning on that boat was a joy; it really took care of me, and I was always sure of its ability to handle weather. These, along with the additional space down below, are, I think, really good reasons for you to consider a 30 over a 26 or 27. I think you’d be happier in the end.
