As the owner of a 26’, I have to agree with everyone on all points. Granted, this is my first boat with no prior sailing experience on my part. I cannot speak with experience concerning the advantages of one size over another.
I CAN say that I would not care to spend a weekend sailing with more than one other adult-sized person in my boat. I just like my personal space, that’s all. I go sailing to get away from people. Steve Staten “C’ Est La Vie” 26’ Langley, Oklahoma
