I STARTED SAILING AT AGE 6 ON AN ALPINE LAKE (NUANGOLA) IN PENNSYLVANIA WITH A 12′ SAILING PRAM MY DAD BUILT (& BUILT WELL ENOUGH THAT 20 YRS. LATER I SOLD IT  TO A GOOD FRIEND WHO SAILED IT FOR 15 MORE YEARS IN THE LONG ISLAND SOUND). THE BOAT HAD A 17′ MAST AND 100 SQ’ OF SAIL WITH A CENTERBOARD. I SAILED HER FOR 10 YEARS AND REALLY HAVE NOT SAILED SINCE BUTAT 78 AM LOOKING TO BUY A 32′ TO 41′ BOAT THAT I WISH TO SAIL WHEREVER I WANT TO SAIL THAT HAS PERFECT WEATHER, CALM SEAS AND FRIENDLY PEOPLE . I KNOW I NEED TO TAKE A GOOD SAILING COURSE BEFOREI EVEN ATTEMPT TO LEAVE A DOCK WITH MINE BUT THESE FORMULAS HAVE BEEN QUITEHELPFUL AND INSTRUCTIVE FOR ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPERTISE

TO BE SURE – WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS BASICALLY THE HIGHER THE COMFORT RATING THE MORE COMFORTABLE THE VESSEL AND THE LOWER THE CAPSIZE RATIO THE LESS LIKELY TO CAPSIZE SHE IS ?
