| displacement might be a better indicator than length
Because of the amount of weight that must be transported during a long passage, beginning with such niceties as water and provisions, I think it's better to consider the question: "How light is too light?"
From my perspective, anything displacing less than 9 tons would be unacceptable, and something displacing more than 12 tons would be desirable.
