I agree. I owned 65 ft and single handed and maintained it exclusively myself. Being a live aboard helped of course. Since it was a twin engine and had direct access from pilot house to deck, could dock it myself and take the locks out of Lake Union. My girlfriend served as stewardess when chartering.

Personally I think bigger is better especially out on the ocean. However for overnight passages I always brought watchstanding crew, but that would be the same on a 30 ft boat as well.
