This question is specifically for 402 owners. After a 10 year hiatus from sailboat ownership after selling my Sabre 362 in 2015, I am considering buying a Sabre 402.? I am curious if many (any) 402 owners single hand their boats? ?I frequently singlehanded my former 362 and am wondering if it is more difficult or challenging on a 402.? My background- late 50¡¯s, relatively athletic, started with a Sabre 28, upgraded to a 362, since selling the 362 raced as crew on an IMX 40.? I understand everyone¡¯s skills and comfort levels are different so any and all thoughts welcome.
