To Advice →Can I sail a sailing boat up to 12 metres (40 feet) with two people on board?
Yes, with the right layout and at least one experienced sailor on board, these models are well suited to sailing as a duo. A furling jib, lines leading to the cockpit and an automatic steering system make sailing even easier.
Which CE category do I need?
It depends on where you sail: D for sheltered waters, C for lakes, estuaries and coastal waters in moderate conditions, B for offshore sailing and A for ocean passages. Most yachts of 10 to 12 metres are category A or B.
Is a yacht of 10 to 12 metres suitable for long trips?
Many yachts in this size range have two or three cabins, a full galley and a heads with shower: enough for weeks on board for a couple or a small family. For long trips, look at the water and fuel tank capacity, storage space and a comfortable saloon.
