At least the boat has a roll-up genoa now. As a single or short-handed cruiser, 
 I would never be taking either sail on or off, they would stay until I could 
hire 4 guys to come move them. Even then, without electric winches that boat 
would be a handful. The wheel location and submarine interior argue very hard 
against selling the boat to a cruising family. I don’t get how you are supposed 
to steer comfortably.

If I could afford it (hahaha), I would redo the cockpit layout and doghouse 
cabin totally with a taller cabin, big ports to let some light in, and move the 
wheel aft. 

I once worked on a 90+ foot sloop that the owner would single-hand, it was a 
really nice boat as long as the electric winches stayed working.
