Cruising Boat

 Anyone who has read might remember that I especially like classic yachts, long overhangs, navy topsides with a smart bootstrap and just enough teak to finish off. 

But for cruising narrow beam equates to less space, you can't put weight in those fine ends, something like this in my opinion makes a much better coastal and offshore cruiser.

There's nothing too extreme, the base boast can probably be picked up relatively cheaply, add to that some good quality hardware and robust improvements, twin furlers etc and you have a good offshore boat.
