Glad to hear that there will be 1 more cruiser out there doing the fun things.
As has been said to many people, your comfort zone is "your" comfort zone and different from anyone else's.
The size of boat you choose, the Q's of what it' made of, do you need hot running water?, do you need ice cream in the middle of the ocean? do you want to beach your boat or anchor off,there are hundreds of Q's to be answered and the only way for you to answer them is to get out and start sailing.
A large part of gaining experience is learning what you don't like ,want or need! only you can answer those Q's.
Try joining a sailing/yacht club that has regular race's and sailing events that way you can sail many different types of boat without having to buy. You will gain experience and meet many who have done what you want to do and can talk knowledgably about it in the safty of the bar.
Sailing is like any sport , it has its' own language, it's own hero's , and when you start the"networking" things will start to fall into place.
Good luck and happy hunting.
