Hi Andrew, Much of my day-sailing is done single-handed, but I also race my M-17 with a crew of three (including me), and we have plenty of cockpit room. Four would begin to crowd the cockpit, particularly with a mid-boom mainsheet. Overnighting alone is luxurious, and with a close friend would be quite comfortable. Three would be doable, but a little crowded. The best feature of the M-17 for me is that it's a stiff, all-weather boat for a single-hander. With the right reefing you can sail through quite a bit of wind. Rick M-17 #633 Lynne L On Sat, Nov 27, 2010 at 4:14 PM, Andrew Lucero <ajlucero88@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi all, I have just joined the list and I'm starting research on pocket cruisers. My sailing experience consists of a lot of windsurfing and a little catamaran sailing - mostly a long time ago. My question - how many can comfortably daysail in a '17? Weekend? We are used to being in close quarters camping.
