We sail as a couple, so we look for a 38'-42' mono. I like dual helm stations, well maintained with a full swim platform for easy transfer to/from the dingy. The wife requires electric flush toilets. That is a deal breaker for her! Shore A\C is fine. We would not use A\C on a ball, as the breeze coming thru the cabin is one of the things we look forward to. Also prefer a shoal keel. Makes for less stress at Anegada.
