After spending the last couple of weeks reading the Sundancer 320 and 340 threads, I registered today and I wanted to introduce myself.
My boating history consists of smaller sailboats, 15’ – 27’. Current boat is a West Wight Potter 15, as we had lived near a lake. We recently sold our home of 25 years and have moved into a rental house, south of Baltimore, only minutes to the Chesapeake Bay. Plan on keeping the sailboat through this boating season as I want to better teach my adult daughter to sail. After this summer, I hope to begin looking for a new (to me) boat.
As I just turned 59, I plan on working 3 more years. When I retire, we plan on doing some extensive traveling for two years, after which we will buy our retirement home. Hopefully some of this time will be spent boating.
I’m really crushing on the 03-08 Sundancer 320’s and 340’s, and the slightly older 360’s. I’m looking for a boat (within my price range) that could be used for extended cruising, like maybe a month to the Bahamas or spending three months cruising the northeast part of the great loop.
I really like the 320/340/360 as it could easily be hauled (at least compared to some other boats I like) and would give us the option of cruising from the Chesapeake Bay, to the Erie Canal, to the Trent Severn Waterway, through the Georgian Bay, down to Chicago, putting the boat on a truck and hauling it back to the Chesapeake Bay or even down to Florida.
