I am looking for a bluewater boat, with good speed, but a size that I can manage as a solo sailor (so about 31 to 36 feet). As I understand it, the longer the LWL on the boat, the faster it goes. Some 36’ boats only have a 26 or 27 LWL, while some 33” boats have at 28 or 29 LWL. So, in this simplistic way, is it a better buy to get a 33’ rather than 36’ boat, if you pay by the foot and the LWL is the same or even longer? What are the advantages/disadvantages, and what might I be missing in this formulation?
