Agree. Our 16ft beam in only 37ft makes for a cavernous liveaboard!We were sailors for 50 plus years. We went from a 31’6” Corvette sailboat to an Island Gypsy 32. Both are “length on deck”. Difference beam of Windflower 8’6”. Beam of Moon Dragon 11’0”. Because of the hull shape, it was like moving from a studio apartment to a bungalow. It is not the length that is important but beam and the owner’s comfort level with the living space available. Although we enjoyed Windflower, Moon Dragon will allow us to extent our season by at least 2 months.
I am therefore consistently surprised when I see that some members here apparently did not receive the reality-based LOA data in their boat surveys. But perhaps this measurement is not customarily included by all surveyors.
Hi Wifey B:
What is the LOA (Length Overall) of YOUR largest boat? And before you answer, I beg to differ with your definition of LOA.

It's 6:42 AM and you people making me think.
B&B, it would be nice to extend this poll to understand how the people use their sized boats. Example, my boat is X feet but I use it mostly for:
- Weekend and short coastal trips;
- Long term passages where seas can get rough;
- Bluewater.

Wifey B: Answer LOA, the legal definition for documentation and registration.
