If you wanted to take the $30,000 Starter Cruiser project: https://www.morganscloud.com/2020/08/22/us30000-starter-cruiser-part-2-the-boat-we-bought/
and increase the budget to $45,000, then one of these would be a rather nice choice.
In terms of layout, hull shape, rig, size, and performance parameters, the Heritage 35 is very similar to our C&C 35. Over the last few years we’ve found that to be a real sweet spot for balancing affordability, ease of handling, performance under sail, availability of marina space, and livability for short cruises, while still being spacious enough to bring a few friends along.
