Hey!
First time trying to buy a sail boat, I've never sailed before so just in the research process.
Trying to narrow down my boat search. I will likely end up doing mostly coastal trips with it. Is it possible to do a long distance ocean crossing solo?
Are there certain sizes of boats I should be limiting myself to?
Can you solo sail a 50 foot boat?
Are catamarans or monohulls easier to single hand?
Also the big question... how do I learn to solo sail assuming i ever find a boat to buy?
Right now I am considering a beneteau or jeanneau unless I want to try to go catamaran then maybe a lagoon 380.
I'm a light sleeper and I hear catamarans are easier to sleep in so I might want to go that option
Thank you!!
