Maybe anything designed by Olle Enderlein, like an OE36. He is a Baltic designer.  He designed many main line boats for Halberg Rassey, Swan, etc. But I would think something like an OE would be more interesting and less obvious from a creative standpoint point.  Depending on your narrative anything blue water capable from about 25 ft to 40 makes sence. To be realistic the weather should be varied with some boisterous and some slow going. Yachts of this size will average a little over 130nm per day in the real world. Somedays more, some days less. Depending on your vision for the future, a simple 1970s ish boat wich has no dependency on electronic technology would be good. Of coarse your characters would either need to know some traditional navigation or learn it along the way. You could use one of the weather apps to pull some actually summer 6 day forecasts to see what a wind pattern and currents might look like.
