Corsair 36

The new Corsair is a fast cruising platform, light and bright belowdecks, but with a bit less elbow room than you'd find on a 36-foot monohull, and pricy. For many, these are worthy trade-offs.

Express 27

A boat both of and ahead of its time, the Express 27 is one of the legendary combinations of Carl Schumacher design and Terry Alsberg construction—and proof that quality keeps its value.

C&C 99

One of a handful of production boats built today with epoxy resin in the laminate, this is a good-looking, fast racer/cruiser from Tim Jackett.

Gemini 105Mc

This is the third version of an already thoughtful design that Tony Smith has been tweaking for years. It's a spacious, stable platform for a fast-cruising couple.

Cal 35

The more moderate younger sister of the giant-killing Cal 40 proves a balanced, capable cruiser. Essential structures are reported to be very strong, while reviews of the interior finish are mixed.

Seaward 25

A trailerable pocket cruiser introduced in 1984 by Hake Yachts, this pricy plumb-bowed sloop is made for exploring the shallows. It's laid out for a cruising couple or young family.

San Juan 28

This old-timer, a refugee from the boatbuilding maelstrom of the '70s, is a speedy, moderate sloop that can race PHRF and also serve as a fairly comfortable weekender.

Island Packet 27

The pint-sized progenitor of the IP line boasts devoted owners and solid resale value. It's a lot of cruising comfort in a small space.

Catalina 470

Although it conforms to CE ratings for ocean sailing, this boat is better suited for coastal cruising in comfort and short offshore passages. It's got a great set of layout options for living aboard.

J/105

The J/105 enjoys an immensely strong class association fueled by a group of owners who wouldn't sail any other way than fast and easily. Problems with the boat are few, and right out front.
