Hi Everyone,
This is my first post and I am relatively new to sailing so pardon my beginner knowledge here but I am looking for some advice. To give some background, the only solo sailing I have ever done is with a Sunfish. I am looking for something bigger to explore the local bay, I live in Rhode Island.
I've been looking for a few weeks now for a boat under $3,000 with a trailer and have come across a Pearson Triton 18 and a McVay Victoria 18. I am looking for advice based on the ideal boat for outlined below. The Pearson in particular has been difficult to find information on, I can really only ever find reviews on the larger Triton's.
Update came across a bit larger of a boat too, within my price range 1979 MacGregor Venture 222
