Maine Cat 30
This cruising catamaran features open living on the bridge deck, above average performance and low maintenance.
Ranger 26
This late 60’s/early 70’s IOR and MORC racer/cruiser was a hot boat in its day, and it still acquits itself reasonably well. But lightweight construction limits the 26’s suitability for offshore.

Wish your old boat had a scoop transom with steps? These two PS readers modified their counter and reverse transoms.

C&C Express 110
The first new C&C since the acquisition of the C&C name by Tartan, the 110 is available with a surprising number of keel and rigging choices. She’s fast and fun to sail, but as a cruiser her stowage comes up short.
Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 37
This French cruiser has a nice all-wood interior, but a small sail plan for coastal US waters.
PS Advisor

Bruce vs. Claw. Keel Depth.
Ericson 32
A look at both the 1969 and 1985 designs by Bruce King finds more to like about the later model boat.
Cheoy Lee Offshore 41
An innovative Ray Richards design built by the earliest Asian yard is a rock solid cruiser, but with a lot of teak to maintain as well as potentially troublesome metalwork.
