To Advice →How many crew members do I need for a sailing boat measuring 12 to 15 metres (40 to 50 feet)?
With electric winches, a furling mainsail and an automatic steering system, you can sail a boat of this size with two people. Without these aids, or on a long crossing (where you have to take turns at the helm), an extra pair of hands is very welcome. In practice, you can manage without automation up to around 45 feet; with automation, two people can handle a boat of up to 50 feet.
How do I choose the best berth?
Larger moorings in popular harbours are in short supply. Check availability well in advance and think carefully about where you want to moor your sailing boat.
How many cabins does a yacht of 12 to 15 metres have?
Usually three or four cabins and two heads, often with an owner's cabin forward or aft. Many builders offer several layouts of the same model, so check the options on the model page.
