We are mono sailors, charter as a couple, and go for the lower cost 38-40' monos. We sail a 'classic plastic' at home, so even a 10 year old mono is 'new' to us. Most important to us is a well maintained boat with sails in good condition, and a cold & well functioning refer. A big bimini, good chart plotter, and LED interior lights are next in importance. We are there to sail, and our hope is to get a vessel in good condition that performs well.
