What size boat are you living or cruising full time on?

[Waterborn]

Living aboard a Tanzer 22 for four years now. OK, not full time. More like from 5:30-11:00 PM Monday to Friday and then all weekend long. But only from mid May to Mid October (Lake Superior has a lot of ice) That is what you were asking right?
Cheers!

I'm looking at a shoal-draft or keel board for a 30 to 35' length, for the sounds of North Carolina and the ICW, when I retire in a few years. Am not decided on what yet, which is part of the reason to hang out on here. Wouldn't mind one of the working boat designs from the region.

40' Jeanneau since December, 2007. Currently enjoying the Abaco's.
Wonderful lifestyle, great boat!

We just moved aboard our Stevens 47 after 9mnths of getting her ready to set sail. We intend on living aboard for 5-10 years or till we don't want to do it anymore. LOVE this boat!!....3 cabins...roomy....loads of storage...room enough to "get away"....so far so good!!

65ft LOA Dutch built steel Motorsailor.

Bigger than I would normally have chosen for my girlfriend and I, but this tough go anywhere kind of vessel, gives me the kind of security I like for the Western Pacific and can easily be handled by 1

Two of us live on a 31' Pacific Seacraft Mariah, before that we lived on a 27' sailboat, so this one seems like a palace!

I have a Fantasia 35 that I bought new in '78. I've lived, cruised, and raised three kids aboard for 26 of those 30 years. Fantasia's are great boats for living and cruising. Lots of living space and storage. I'm currently doing a major refit that includes new fuel and water tanks, electrical, and electronic upgrades.

Hi, I have lived for 30 months on my 30ft. Oday (swing Keel) and am having the time of my life. Left from Ft. Lauderdale March 2005 and have not had a night ashore (except when couldnt find the dingy on Green Turtle). I am solo so 30ft. is enough work and cost for the pleasure. Fair seas and light winds to you all. Peter

Cruised Bahamas on a Shannon 28, sold house when I got back and lived aboard for another 3 years. Very comfortable, good headroom/stretchout room, and very easy to keep heated during Md winters. Have now moved up to Shannon 37 and plan to start cruising again next summer.

She Who Must Be Obeyed and I did an Atlantic Circuit over two years in a 33' cruiser-racer. Good turn of speed, sailing upwind, the Contessa often thrashed other motor-sailing boats. Practical layout for a couple though the fo'c'sle became the equivalent of the cupboard under the stairs. Easy to find your boat in a crowded anchorage when she's the only one with a fractional rig with jumpers to boot!

Planning on heading off again next year in an 37' Oyster Heritage. The Oyster offers a fair bit more space and better weight carrying ability. One criteria was that the new boat had to be able to operate for a month unsupported and be able to cruise from the French canals to Alaska.

3 years on a 34' Irwin.

Just moved on an Islander 30. Spent 12 years on a Westsail 32. Love it.
