Toni and Mike:

Knowing the care and attention you have given to S/V Kayla I would buy her in the proverbial "New York second" if I thought I had a "snowballs chance in hell" of being able to singlehand her. I can barely singlehand S/V Tadpole and I am thinking (crazy thinking) of buying a CD 25D. A CD 28 is way beyond my abilities, even my abilities as I see them after 2-3 Guinness.

I am really amazed S/V Kayla has not been sold. I think this is a better measure of our current economic condition than any Washington economist or charts could ever tell us. In any normal economy S/V Kayla would have been sold at your original asking price within 2 weeks of your original post. She is an outstanding example of a CD 28 and, knowing your attention to detail, she remains in Bristol condition. As you may recall, I saw S/V Kayla when I was in Niceville a couple of years ago looking at a CD 25D that I (stupidly of course) did not buy.

It's an amazing world right now when S/V Kayla sits on the market for more than a few days.

If you develop your skills on your Typhoon some of the larger boats are really not that hard to single hand. The main thing is learn what your boat will do as to heaving to, reefing early, set up roller furling headsails, and lead halyards and such aft. I single handed a CD 27 for several years and a 25D with ease. The 27 was a little more to handle but only at the dock trying to "back out" with the full keel and some breeze on the side.
The 28 listed does look nice.

Sea Hunt, go for it. You know you can handle that boat just fine. Having gone from a Typhoon to a CD-30 I speak with experience.

The hard part is not handling the bigger boat but dealing with all of the systems.

If you are thinking you can handle a 25D you can certainly handle a CD-28. That would make one less step up in the 2 footitise process.

Think nice stable platform with more room to work, Steve.

[Jerry Hammernik]

Sea Hunt,
Sometimes I think I'm actually better off when I singlehand. I busted my bow light once and another time buffed off a goodly portion of rub rail varnish on my CD28. Both events happened when I had crew on board and I expected them to do something that did not happen.

When I am alone, I think it through before I do it and there is never any miscommunication

The 28 is big enough to go out for weeks with three aboard and small enough to singlehand safely. I've done both many times.

Go for it. I forget who, but someone on the board has the signature line about you'll regret more the things you didn't do than the things you do.

Sea Hunt, I thought a 27 was big; it didn't take long to see that she is small (sweet, lovely, lively, quick, dry, etc.) That's a beautiful 28. I don't want to say anything that would offend my Tula, but if I had seen Kayla . . .
It would take you a little longer to hoist the sail, but no time at all to be driving that boat. And my son is looking for a typhoon . . .

Mark:

"Don't over tadpole it" is very funny

I briefly looked at S/V Kayla a couple of years ago when I was in Niceville searching for a CD 25D. Kayla was/is beautiful and very well maintained. My concerns are solely related to my lack of experience, Kayla's size and the fact I will be singlehanding anything I sail.

I checked the map. It's about 1,800 miles from Miami to Surry, Maine. Will your son be sailing S/V Tadpole up to Surry

[SurryMark]

Tadpole,

My son will be sailing in a lake near Clemson, SC. He can handle just about anything, but he wants an 18 - 22' boat for family use and to race against the fleet there, so if he finds a Typhoon it will carry a spinnaker and probably be pushed to the max. Any notes on appropriate craft will be appreciated.

Again, Tad, don't be too daunted by size, after the experience you have had. Maintenance cost is certainly something to think about. There's more sail to pull up and down, but you'd soon get used to that. i think that most of the board would agree that a turning point is between 27 and 30 feet, and then over 30 feet, but folks with bigger boat experience should speak to that. I know my 27 will turn like a smaller boat with a fin keel.

[marv brinn]

you have enough experience and have spent enough time kicking the tires...buy the boat already my cd 27 is not much smaller than the 28
