I would have thought that we are talking about owners being 30+ and crew anything else, which surely must be the profile of most two handers.
Any younger as an owner and you going to be wealthyish and probably after something more exciting (RS800, 49er etc). Maybe an explanation behind the demise of high performance boats that Jim mentioned. |

Interesting thread/ Almost certainly my next two-hander will be an Albacore for all the reasons mentioned above. It is also as capable on puddles as on the open sea.
A modern Hartley Wayfarer is a nice piece of kit on the water, takes weight well but ashore it is a lump. I've sailed an X1 and it is a lovely boat, for me the sym kite is a plus. Unfortunately they are a bit pricey - but quality. How do they do in a lumpy sea? The 59er is something of an enigma. It seemed to have a lot going for it on paper and I agree that it is something that could be worth a rig revamp. Are the hull moulds tucked away somewhere? Did the RS400 seem the more sensible option?

Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else
