the biggest benefit to me is that I can have it on my parkway on a trailer, so /I don't have to pay mooring or have a slip, since I don't live far from the ocean (like 15 mins) I save a lot of money!!
G'day from Australia. Size depends on whose point of view you are talking to. I owe a Columbia 27. Under 30 feet i consider it to be a very useful pocket cruiser, as i am a full time live aboard, i need adequate space all round for at least two people to be comfortable to live on and go coastal cruising or off shoure transatlantic crossing.The Columbia 27 fits my bill and is still in my capability to handle on my owen. I am soon to do avlog of my boat. Dealing with weather and health at present. Gerard on liveaboard, SV GEMSTAR.
The Columbia 27 and similar boats are very popular in the Pacific Northwest. I hope to one day be able to sail in Australian waters - maybe just a day sail in Sydney Harbour!
