Hi Lisle, When I bought my 30-1 I’d mostly sailed only J/22s, Capri 22s, and a Merit 25 for about five years beforehand (other people’s boats). Plus a couple week-long charters on a Beneteau 505 and a Jenneau 45 in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (captained charters, but I helmed all week). An

We were similar.  We started out with a 1969 Southcoast 23 as our first keel boat.  We decides that we needed a little bigger boat when we needed to raise sails to get out if the harbor in South Haven, Michigan because the 4.5 HP outboard couldn't overcome the waves to go out and turn around.

If I may suggest, don’t buy a boat that is too small. It is not easy to sell your boat (for the money it is worth) to upgrade to a few feet more. Buy the boat you want to have. I don’t think sailing a 30 is that much different (more difficult) than a 27. Not to mention that a Pearson would neve
