Welcome to Sailnet.

I would also recommend you get your wife involved in sailing and have her take a women-only sailing course. If the two of your are going to be cruising together, IMHO, each of you needs to be able to handle the boat single handed. This also means the size of the boat you can eventually get is going to be limited by what the largest boat either of you can handle alone is.

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.
