My recommendation to you sir is to give most of your money to Vanguard for a year or so, and to spend a little on renting cruising cats of different ilk, and getting a few brokers to take you for a ride on the thoroughbreds........

Data is one thing, seeing it is another.

BINGO.......As mentioned above fast is fun, but I believe you will slow it down on a passage. Fast is hard on you, and the boat. ESPECIALLY single-handing will be even more so. Have you done any single-handing of any distance? Sell your stuff, and take your time on a purchase. It sounds like more experience will be helpful in your decision on a purchase. BEST WISHES in finding a boat to serve you well..........i2f

Gunboats for weekend luxury performance.
Outremers for top performance aft cockpit design with more spartan interiors.
Atlantics for a blend of performance and cruising.

Take a look at the Outremer many are currently available worldwide and several very solid older models that won't force you to sell all your other toys.
