Looking for some more advice, having sold my 26ft Seamaster a lot quicker than expected im looking for a larger boat.
Made an offer earlier this week on a Westerly Tempest which was refused then the boat sold whilst I was out of the country on Wednesday.
Next boat on my short list is a 1982 Jeanneau Melody, seems good value for money (although has been on market a long time?)
But I am still a bit concerned that she is 2 big for my needs as I probably do 50% of my sailing single handed ...and often go out for a couple of hours just for a quick jaunt when I have days off during the week.
Anybody have a similar sized boat and do thesame? Any recomendations to make it easier eg just mainsail or headsail.
She has in mast furling and will be operated off a buoy in the clyde.
