Recommended cruising boats
I would invite Jack to crew on my ''79 H37C on Lake Erie. We only, if not too crazy, sail in six to eight footers. But when you consider the wave period averages three seconds we get considerably more stress than many other bodies of water(I have sailed extensively in the Atlantic).
On a recent return from Canada in 30+ kts we were constantly at 40 degrees and surfing over 9 kts. The crew was never uncomfortable or in danger. The only structural changes to the boat are new bronze portlights. All else is original. The cutter-rig is an excellent sail plan, I often single-hand.
