Depending on the setup. It was not a matter of size, more a matter of
how
the boat is setup. Mine was setup for crew of 6 doing Bermuda races.
Changing the mainsheet and leading all lines to cockpit allowed me to do
tacks and gibes alone. I still quite often engage the autopilot while I
do
fine tuning adjustments like Cunningham, genoa fairlead blocks, setting
up
preventer, etc.

I sail mine solo often. I have the main halyard and mainsail adjustment
and
reefing lines led to the cockpit so there is little reason to race around
the deck. I find that if I do things in an orderly way, sailing a 38
footer
is no harder than sailing my old 22 footer.

Hi,
I am think about upgrading to a larger vessel in the near future. I
currently sail my C&C 29 as a weekend cruiser almost every weekend except
for a few miserable summer weekends. But I also like to do some gulf
sailing ranging from the FL Panhandle to the Keys.
I am currently fancying the early 1980's vintage C&C 38 Landfall.
From
what I have read and have seen these are wonderful boats. Now I enjoy
sailing my 29 single handed which is about half the time I sail. To
those
who know the 38 well, can they be sailed reasonable solo?
Thanks for any advise.
