You know the old saying, ‘if I knew then what I know now,’ and in terms of the boat that means I am looking for something in the 34-foot range. Still capable of single-handing, but but enough to cruise in style. The headroom on my Pearson 26 requires me to stoop and it’s just a little too tight.

I am going to skip the two foot growth spurts and go for what I want, which allows for a hot water system, shower, maybe a reefer box and most of all, enough floor space to do yoga. Not that I will but you get the drift.
