c&c30
I have not sailed on Lake Ontario enough to have seen it all but friends tell be that some really bad squalls come up. That''s about as bad as it gets in coastal sailing too.
We sailed the C&C 30 from 1978 thru 1995 from Eastern Long Island Sound to Nantucket and back quite a bit, maybe a dozen times or more. A number of years we spend 60 nights or more on the water. This is just coastal cruising and no different than day sailing except that your living aboard.
There is nothing to swells really unless they make you seasick. Luckily for me and my "bride" we are not affected by that. So coastal sailing is no big deal compared to Lake Ontario I would think. Of course there are tides and currents to deal with but that is not relevant to one boat type over another.
There are a lot of good harbors on the Northern East Coast however with the exception of New Jersey .
Thirty foot boats will do it all for coastal cruising. Of course bigger boats ride better and have more room.
Do you have a wheel or tiller? An auto pilot?
Hot water?
Mike.
