Single Handed Cruiser

[Rustyf]

Thanks to all. The information provided was on point and very understandable. As I noted I have not yet bought a boat. My next step is to go to a sailing school in the PNW and get a bareboat charter license. Then on to the next step which is to convince my wife that sailing in the San Juans and Puget sound would be a lot of fun for both of us and friends and worth the expense. How to do this will be the subject of another thread.

Thanks again.
