I sail a Vertue and find them quite an adequate size for crossing oceans and sailing in high latitudes. I find large boats rather tiring to sail. Maybe I'm just mad!I was crewing for HW Tilman in 1974. He was a friend of David Lewis and a fellow RCC and OCC member and was one of the not many people who had crossed Drake Passage in a yacht at that time. He did not approve of “Ice Bird” or of single handing and said “That boat is too small”.
