My First Boat
A Santana 21 was my first sailboat (I've since moved up to a Catalina 30 with stops at a MacGregor 25 and a Catalina 27). The Santana is a great sailing boat and is easy to single hand. Accomodations are minimal but it has a very large v-berth. They were very well built by Schock in Southern CA. It doesn't have the interior room of a Catalina 22, but I think it's a better sailing boat. If it's in good condition at a good price, it should serve you well. There are quite a few links on the web if you just do a search on "Santana 21". The attached link will take you to a brochure.
