Favorite Small Boats ?

P.S. - Richard, there's a (rare) Ultimate 24 for sale in Latitude 38. A bit light for ocean single-handing up here, but pretty good for So-Cal.

An Ultimate 24 with a tiller pilot would be a very good boat for single or double handing. It's a planing sportboat, and with a PHRF rating of 108, you would likely lead most local races. That's a minute a mile faster than a Moore 24, which is fast The Ultimate 24 has an interior, and would work for overnighting to Catalina. It is easily ramp launchable or from a hoist. These boats are stiff and were well built, and strong for their weight. Sailing a performance boat like an Ultimate 24 is fun. Which is the reason we go sailing, right?
 
One model I was thinking of is the Beneteau 1st 285. I'm going to check into those Cat ratings and see if I can find a reference.
