This one won't have the romantic apeal of some of the lead sleds mentioned but how bout the Gemini 105. Having lived abord a 30 foot monohull for two years I can say that this would be my choice. New boats are $12?k and a used one can be had for under or about $100k. Lots of room and deck space, huge head and shower, 18" draft with boards up and flat sailing. No matter what boat you end up with, it's worth doing. Winters can be a b*tch but the rest of the year it's sweet. www.geminicatamarans.com
