Many thanks for the detailed explanations. I have taken lessons, up in Newport, but it was all on small sloops. Didn't do a lot of sailing, but enough to know I enjoy it. As for crewing for others for a while before making up my mind, there is a time element involved. Am in the process of a divorce and am looking to do a live-aboard while I wait to get equity out of my house for future domicile purchase. There is a relatively small window of opportunity before I have to either sign an apartment lease or buy a boat. Would much rather have the boat (my wife hated the idea of a sailboat, so maybe the divorce is a blessing!). Living in Annapolis, there are a lot of boats to choose from, mostly ketches and sloops, hence my question. I'm looking at boats around 40 feet in length. Your answers help immensley.
Thanks a million!
Max
