Question

What would be a good sailboat for single-handed world cruising? Something around 28 to 36 feet.

Answer 1

On a low budget, the Albin Vega and the Contessa 26 would be suitable. There are also plenty of Asian built cruisers from the 70s and 80s like the Cheoy Lee 30 and Baba 30 out there. If you've got lots of money to spend, then you have all kinds of choices from trimarans to motorsailors. In that case you would have to decide if you want a heavy full-keel boat, or something lighter.
