I've had two boats. First one was a San Juan 24 that I enjoyed so much, I upgraded to a San Juan 28. I am now ready to hit the ocean and would like to sail down to where I was originally born, Chile. Please help me with picking the right vessel. I also want a bias that can be a good live aboard as well.
So far I have read that the following would do the trick:
Westsail
Alajuelo
Tayana
Hans Christian

I'd also like a boat that can be rigged up for single-handed sailing without too much trouble.
Thanks

I'd say the answer is more experience.

You should read this blog:

Sequitur

He is a very, very experienced skipper. And it still doesn't look easy.

I went to Argentina on a Swan 65.
