Don’t get hung up on the LOA. As long as the boat is properly rigged, you can sail it. I knew a guy who singlehanded a 90 foot sailboat! Joe Coquina

The boat itself is big enough that couples do live aboard, we had a couple on our last dock living aboard. As a new sailer, learning on a 30-2, I'd say it's good to learn on, we had no issues going from our training boat to our 30-2. There is enough space to enjoy and the walk through transom is one of the features we wanted on the boat. After 1.5 seasons of learning I am happy with the boat. It's easy for 2 people to handle or 1 with autopilot.

I'm hearing a lot of "3-foot-itis" stories from sellers I'm speaking with. So the search goes on. I've found an interesting 1987 Pearson 27 that looks promising, here is the link: https://rochester.craigslist.org/bod/d/1987-pearson-27-2-sailboat/6281575540.html The one issue with the Pearson is that apparently it got struck by another boat on the port bow side that required some repair. Also, I'm going to see a 1987 C&C 30 later today that looks promising. Link here: http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1987/C%26C-30-3079275/Rochester/NY/United-States#.Wa-z9MiGNPY Can someone with a C&C 30' tell me how large the v-birth actually is and share any experience with the idea of a beginner sailor staring with a boat like this? thanks, Lisle _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
