The best search tool at Cruisers Forum is the
Google Custom Search, however I don't believe there is any search term that will deliver the answer to what the right
boat for your purposes is. That "right boat" question is a matter of intense and prolonged debate that is probably impossible to answer - there are just too many variables.
I would suggest that you spend some time getting familiar with the site. Over time, you will recognize that you gravitate to either
power or sail,
multihull or
monohull,
center cockpit or rear
cockpit, tiller or
wheel, gas or
diesel, etc. It's a virtually endless list, but as you gain familiarity with these different aspects of boats, you will form your own opinion of what speaks to you.
If you want more finely-focused information within some of those pairings above, then a
Google Custom Search within, say, the pros / cons of tiller vs.
wheel should return better results.
