Not a great start to a thread..On the title, opinions vary. In the range you seem to be looking at.. it doesn't make much difference, though long keelers in the heaver end of choice are marginally better.
Blaming Boomers is a narrow minded view. They have accumulated quite a lot of experience and have passed some of it on... As someone with no experience, listening to people who have done 'it' usually helps.

So feel free to go and accumulate your own experience and come back with the results in, lets say, at least 50 years.

Reading a bit of the CA thread sort of gives it away. Troll.
On another forum, a poster asked about a complicated metal folding project. Each time he got answers he moved the criteria a bit. Finalyl exposed as serial troll happily living on the dole and proud of it...

Distressing cynicism. The guy just wants to cruise Patagonia, singlehanded in a 26ft boat but prefers to learn as he goes along.
I must also point out that he has already told us he has extensive experience in the Lake district, in his inflatable dinghy. .?

Well that's possibly not quite the limit of his/her ambitions. The individual posting on the same topic in Cruising Anarchy doesn't want to stop at Patagonia. Thereafter he/she proposes to cross the Pacific to Australia & New Zealand.Distressing cynicism.

You forgot Japan, to fish for big tuna. At least that is practical, as I have caught loads with a line and spinner while sailing.
