Just curious...whats the ideal singlehanded boat size? At what point does it become too much boat to handle by yourself? My only experience being in a 30...I'd like to know what others sail alone...wheel vs tiller? I know when you get above 35 ft or so most have wheels instead of tillers...I am a bit partial to tillers...but maybe at a certain point wheels have an advantage?

I single-hand my 32' sloop all the time....and have spent time sailing a 41' Morgan OI ketch also and wouldn't hesitate to sail either by myself in decent weather. I definitely agree that the overall displacement of the boat and the size of the sails to be managed are the major limiting factors, assuming the boat and gear are in good shape and you're not out in a gale.
It's definitely more fun, though, if you have a nice bikini holder on deck with you, in my opinion.
