Good evening all,
I am just looking for my first sailboat & have decided I am going to Liveaboard down in Cornwall. I really need some advice on which boats would be best.
My situation…
I will be living alone on the boat full time, no pets, no kids, but I will have at least 2 quests occasionally for dinner, nights away, sailing weekends Etc.
I will be sailing alone a lot so would like a boat set up for single-handed sailing.
I would like to visit places up river around the south west coast.
I will eventually want to sail to Scotland to visit parents.
I would like ease of sailing, comfort & also stability.
Any suggestions on things like…
Keel - Bilge/Twin?
Length of boat - 28ft - 36ft?
Sails/Rig - Sloop?
or please suggest exact boats you think will be suitable.
I will be buying in the UK.
Thank you in advance for any help & advice.
Kind regards
