Our Cruising Sailboat Buyer’s Guide!

It’s Annapolis Sailboat Show season once again! We thought it would be fun to create a video with guidance on how relatively new buyers can select the right cruising sailboat given their sailing objectives.

Editor’s note: around the 40 minute mark the audio has a mistake: the Island Packet 485 does not have a bobstay (although should be used around the bow as a result of the cleats’ location).

Interested in any of these models? Our reviews are linked here:

Jeanneau 409 / Sunsail 41

Sea Sprite 34

Hylas 54

Sabre 38 MKII

Not a cruising boat, but: J/88
