All of these ratings/numbers give you an idea of "how" a given boat will do in a given circumstance. I have no qualms about saying, the Bayfield would be one of the last boats I would choose for your potential useage. I personally feel there are faster, just a well built, comfortible boats for sailing in Lake O and going across the Atlantic.

What would you recommend for liveaboarding and singlehanding on Lake Ontario for around CAD $40k? Preferably something that can eventually ocean cruise, but I don't mind later upgrading to a different boat for that.
