We started with 25 footers. we didn't rreally know enough about sailing to even know what kind of boat we eventually wanted. If we had immediately gone to a 30 footer we wouldn't have ended up with the boat we did (tartan 30). A 25 to 27 footer can be had relatively cheap, will be alittle more forgiving in docking and other maneuvers, and will teach you what you want in a boat or more importantly what you don't want. As you learn to sail you'll likely be changing your views on sailing and what you want from it.
We sailed a C&C 25 for 3 years. It's a tough, nice sailing little boat. It did leave a lot to be desired down below, but that boat taught us a lot. Good luck, Jim L
