Re: New to sailing, looking for first sailboat!
Something to think about is that you tend to be busier while sailing than when power boating. E.g. Hauling sails up and down, trimming the sails etc. and it's more work to just power out of a bad situation. Just a few things to think about. Ps there is quite a bit of force on a sail under power. Particularly with the size boats you are looking at.
