How Should I Choose ?

I am new to CF. Plan on buying my first monohull in the upcoming year. I plan to be living aboard on the east coast. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Re: HOW SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Well that's a pretty broad question with no parameters at all. Kind of like posting "I plan to get married next year and am looking for a wife. Any suggestions?"

Depends on whether you like sleek and fast or soft and comfortable; fancy dresses and high heels but high cost, high maintenance or shorts and sandals on a reasonable budget.

Speaking of budget, you don't mention any so I assume that price is no concern. In that case take about a million or so and buy a 52' Hinkley.
