Subject: [world-cruising] Cruising boat search

Well, we decided to pass on the CT41 of a few weeks
ago. We looked at a Vagabond 47 and a Hardin 44 but
thought they would probably be more boat than my wife
could easily handle if something should happen to me.
We're choosing everything with her in mind since she
is the smaller and generally physically weaker of the
2 of us. That's one reason we are looking for a ketch.
We want to break down the size of things so that we
have every confidence that come just about everything,
we will be able to continue on.
In looking through some literature, I saw that Hans
Christian made a ketch in the 38 foot length. While it
doesn't have the space that the 40+ footers have, it
seems to be a doable length and we don't want to go
below 35 or 36 feet on deck. Trouble is, we haven't
seen any of them available anyplace. They must have
made precious few of them and they don't come up very
often. The same can be said for Tayana 37s. Although
they are both double enders and give away quite a bit
of storage space, this type of hull does interest us.
So, given that, does anyone have any suggestions as to
what might work for us? We _don't_ want a fin keel or
multi-hull of any kind. We prefer the tracking and
stability that generally comes with a full keel or
more modern full keel. The knot or so that we might
give away to a fin keel or even more to the multi-hull
is not a concern for us. I should say also that it's
not critical that the boat be a U.S. make. We're open
to suggestions.
Thanks.
Jason
