what are the best used cruising sailboats in the 32' to 40' range ?

1. Removing it from the water
2. Driving it
3. Antifouling paint (see the advisor section on westmarine.com)
Although this reduced your top speed by about 3 - 4 mph, the
algae reduces it by much more.
4. Wiping it regularly with a mop/brush
5. Beaching it in sand--if you can live with the resulting scratches (but they're not that bad). Sand also does a fantastic job of cleaning steel propellers.
