Skrap-

Part of the problem you're going to run into is that most bluewater capable boats in the size range you're looking at aren't going to be all that spacious on the interior. I'm a techie too... and have to have some basic computer capabilities aboard my boat, but I don't see any need for the large screen TV and all that stuff. I don't see any point in carrying a DVD player, when my laptop is perfectly capable of doing all that.

If I were you, I'd be looking at the Elizabethan 33, Southern Cross 35, Hallberg Rassy Rasmus 35, or the Alberg 37 (which came in yawl and sloop rigs IIRC). These are boats that are probably in your price range, and fairly seaworthy.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
