I'm one who preferred smaller. Had a Morgan Classic 41 and while it was super, it was too much for me. I admit I'm still a relatively green sailer but the added cost of hauling, a slip, manuvering in close made the decision a lot easier to go to the Morgan OI 30 we now enjoy. Of couse we are not doing a liveaboard and I realize that does make a difference, if you have the cash...go big.
