Thank you Fred. The 30’s in my area are far too rich for my blood but I’ll keep my eyes open. I’m not pulling the trigger on either boat until the spring. Maybe something comes available between now and then. Chris

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. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI On Oct 11, 2018, at 7:10 AM, Chris Graham via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Thanks Bruce! I’m going to be single handing 90% of the time, and storage, mooring costs, sail replacement, etc...is another reason why I’m trying to keep the length down. I do understand the 30’ is a superior boat on many levels. I think I’m committed to a smaller size though I may be convinced otherwise if something were to present itself. :) You nailed the price of both boats. The 26’ has cosmetic issues but can be dropped in the water tomorrow and sailed away. Just trying to look down the road and make the right choice. Beautiful pacific seacraft 25’ at triple the coast but a beautiful bait with classic lines, double ender... but I want to keep costs down! :) Chris _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
