Paul — I’m usually single-handing my LF38 for all intents and purposes; even when my wife is aboard. If you set it up properly, and have a decent autopilot, there’s no reason you can’t do the same. The boat behaves well, both under power and sail (assuming you don’t have too much sail up…). And I think you’d love the space aboard, after your 29. Also, if you’re looking at the Keys or even heading over to the Bahamas, you’d also enjoy the tankage (both water [100 gals] and fuel [35 gals]).
