Nowdays, the word on the street is that a bigger longer ship is safer. But problems never get smaller by getting a larger vessel.

@neauoire I wish I had pictures of the 48’ sailboat I toured on Quadra Island. This was in the mid 90s so I had to just trust the classified ad until I went and saw it for myself. For one, 3-4 ft bowsprit. For two, it was made out of basically 6-8” wide timbers. So the inside was TINY with basically no headroom. The electrical system? A car battery and then one of those Frankenstein lab switches rusting as it was screwed directly into the wood beams. Cloth sails, of course. |
@neauoire The word is put on the street by brokers and big production builders (like car companies, they angle for repeat business).
