Do a search on here for

Top Hat

you and Shanty compare notes and go together

I didn't know goats could sail. At least you'll have your alter ego for company.

ss30 defiance are nice and would be great for that.
But you can get a top hat 25, compass 28 or duncanson for fairly cheap
If you are on the cheap you can even consider smaller

Sorry, my bad. I'd forgotten we'd discovered he's actually a blob fish.

Just wondering what your thought are on the most sensible sailboat for 1 person sail around oz maybe but of south east asia

Live full time easily managed with 1 half competent sailor. Easier, safer the better.

Van de Stadt 34.
Decent amount of space, and good performers but still forgiving to sail.
most for sale are steel which is great if its been painted properly. Fortunately these were designed after epoxy paint systems became the norm and rust a lesser issue.

Make sure it has great wind vane , electric auto pilot as a back up , good fridge / freezer , water maker , small generator, and a couple hundred watts solar panels , great sails , great engine , great bunk ! , great rigging , great chart plotter x 3 , great VHF / HF radios , great anchor and chain /rode /winch , great hull and spars . If it ticks all those boxes , if its 40 ft ish or under it doesn't matter what it is buy it and bon-voyage .

MB has much of this inventory. Maybe I should go sailing in her, maybe to Lord Howe Island. Again!

That a great idea, MB would be the perfect choice.
