James,
Is there a real reason why you are buying new? You could potentially get a
bit bigger boat for the money if you bought used. In my experience (21' and
24' in the range you're talking about) 19' is going to be an EXTREME squeeze
for the two overnighting. I still have horrible memories of nights on the
21'er or anytime we had less than perfect weather.
Personally I see a large jump between 18' or so day sailor with no overnight
capability, and 22'-23' where you are starting to get to the point where two
people can get past each other in the cabin -- and actually undress inside
while they're both below at the same time.
Paul.
