I recently joined CF and wanted to introduce myself - I own and sail my LeComte NE 38, Sequitur, which I have moored in Sag Harbor, NY for the past 20 years. We love this
boat, Sag Harbor and cruising in
New England, CT, MA, RI, Cape Islands and especially
Maine. I have also chartered a good bit on larger
boats in
Greece,
Caribbean and
New England. I am looking forward to
learning from this Cruiser's community and sharing experiences with other members. I am planning to sell my 38'
sloop in the next year or so and move up to a 49'
sloop. I have been looking at a several designs including Swan 48,
Hylas 46, 47 and 49 and given that I
single hand quite a bit and often sail short-handed - and also looking for cruising comfort with good performance but not
racing type sailing, I have been leaning toward the
Hylas 49. Would love to connect with those of you with direct experience on these
boats. Best wishes Paul.
