Thanks for a all the boat options! I was away over the weekend - took
the kids sailing overnight (yes - I definitely need a larger boat!!!! 4
kids and one adult wedged into a Mirage 24 with 5' of headroom --
weather was great, but sleeping accommodations very restrictive!)
I like the look of the O'day. The Pearson, meh.. I'd rather have wheel
steering (too much having to ask people to move so I can tack my current
tiller boat - plus the wheel for me feels like a big boat, the tiller is
from my dinghy racing days)
Also - without really knowing much, I prefer the look and feel of the
80's boats (nicer lines, better thinking in the interior layout) rather
than the 70's.
Can't say I'm willing to look at the Buccaneer or the Lancer - as
someone said to me earlier on this list - buy a boat that is "the
prettiest in the mooring field" -- those ones just don't get me anywhere
near there!
Having posted to the list I'm getting some additional emails - I'm not
too familiar with the Viking 33, I'll have to look at that. Plus a note
that a C&C 29 Mk 1 is for sale locally for an excellent price (but the
online reviews and the designer comments from the CNCphotoalbum are
rather negative)
I'm hoping to get someone to look at the C&C 29 mk2 in Maine - the price
still seems good to me, assuming it's in good shape.

what do you think about a pearson 30 for $4000?
These are nice boats, I looked at few of them during my search. Still
on a tiller which, isn't necessarily a bad thing...

Andrew,
I've been doing my best to look at boats down in Maine, Mass and RI -
the bigger boats show up on yachtworld, but the smaller/less expensive
boats don't seem to show up anywhere consistent (I regularly look at
sailboatlistings and try to search Craigslist).
Hard to get a good handle on boats at a distance, and harder still to
show up hoping to sail one home! If you see a nice boat let me know.
I'm interested! Still looking 29-32 range. Sailing it back sounds
like fun.
Failing that, I'm looking locally and I'm going to see if I can get
someone to check out that 29 in Maine - if I can find a trailer to
haul it back on it is way cheaper than similar looking condition boats
here.
Mark
