Never said otherwise.. if you want a fast racing boat that can cruise with a family of four... I wouldn't suggest anything smaller than what you've got...

But she has no boom...so she's not going anywhere anytime soon... when's the new boom supposed to come in.

There are those that have sailed almost all sizes of boats in a life time, that have gone from optimists to 420, to 470, to Star to dragon 25, 28, 32, and now chose a 42 for racing purposes..in my opinion...size depends on what you want to do, and HOW....

I went from Sunfish, to Cape Cod Mercuries, to J/24s, to OPBs, and finally decided to stop mooching rides on OPBs, and got her...

I single hand my boat, no problem here, I could cross the Atlantic solo on her...I can cruise with the family also, I can strip her and race...to me my boat is the best size for me now...and the important word is "good for now"...I believe.

A family of four would go crazy on a boat as small as mine.

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.
