I have been sailing for over 20 years, my last 18 years on my Nonsuch 30. I am considerng a Trawler but have never even touched one. Would appreciate suggestions on some quality older boats (maybe a Woody) in the 28-34 ft. range to consider for my wife and I to do some long distance gunkholing.
Based on my limited knowledge and looking in the classified section on this forum, it seems that the Willard and Fales seem to be ones that I should consider in addition to some other popular names such as Nordic Tug, Eagle, Cape Dory and Grand Banks.
Is a fly bridge preferred? I am concerned about the top heavy performance and stability since I am coming from a very stable/comfortable cruising sailboat. And also concerned about having "cabin fever" by being confined to the main pilot house 8-10 hour days on the water.
Oh yea, I would definetely consider a trade or if you know of someone looking for a great cruising freshwater sailboat.
All suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ken
