Hi - newbie here. I am possibly looking to buy a C18. I am wondering if its the right boat for me. I have done all the on-line reading. Heres some desired characteristics and related thoughts:
Small, trailberable, stable, ease of operation.
I am 62, slightly overweight with 50 years of sailing experience and ownership (but not an expert).
Will be coastal sailing (90% in/around a harbor) in SE Mass.
Weather is mainly 10-15kts with occasional chop.
The boat will be moored primarily, so self-bailing is desired
Max of 3 people, but will single handle alot
Not interested in speed/performance.
Money is tight
Pls comment - I appreciate all input. Thx
