Problem areas in terms of design, materials, maintenance, etc.  
Sailing characterisitcs 30 + years. Started in a Catalina 22 near Pgh. Pa. Moved to the Bay 5 years ago. Have sailed to FL to times. Day sail as much as I can. Also race on a J 35 out of Annaopolis.  
Motoring characterisitcs Have Yanmar 16 HP diesel. Does a great job in heavy weather!!! 4k in 5k of current with 30 k of wind off te bow!!  
Liveability Not a true live aboard!!! I have when I took boat to FL. I was solo and had no big problems living aboard for 6 mo's travling but would require more space. I live aboard a 42' house boat and soon to move aboard a Catalina 3o'
