wheels 543 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Don't limit length by the idea that it would be easier to single hand. Longer boats set up well can also be easy to single hand. If length limit is due to mooring or trailering situation, then that's a different story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chariot 242 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Raven 26. Easy to sail and well balanced. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sudden5869 17 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Ditto on the Raven 26 and Reactor. Especially for open water. Reactors seem to be holding up well with fibreglass construction method limiting the opportunity for osmosis. Happy hunting Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cantab 341 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Some good Ravens turn up on TradeMe fairly frequently, pretty cheap and very seaworthy. Often had quite a bit of refurbishment done due to age, would be wary of one that needed work though, wait for one that the moneys been spent on all-ready. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
