maybe my pronouncement of "absolute" was a bit over the top. I would say that I want to be capable of single-handing, and I'd feel uncomfortable with a boat much bigger than mine. The difficulty in handling the main is non-trivial.

In any case, this is all rather subjective. So, that's just my opinion. Take it cum grano salis, as the Romans used to say.
