Top 10 Sailboats Easiest & Best to Single Hand - SailNet Community
2012年12月5日 · MarkofSeaLife- Your right I should not have put the 10 in the post. Just should have said "What boat do you think would work the best for---". I have thought about staying in the 32 to 34 foot range. I do like the roominess of the Morgan 382. Draft I'm sure is a issue to be concerned about.
Best Centerboard Designed Boats - SailNet Community

Best Trailerable 22-24' Boat? - SailNet Community
2009年10月27日 · It's a little smaller than your range and VERY hard to find, but... if BEST small fixed-keel sailboat for PNW is the brief, I'd look for a Wilderness 21. It's a freak.
