Too true!

Speaking of which, how many adults can comfortably go sailing on a C-25? I am assuming I'll have some volunteers once we find our boat.

4 is great, 5 is still good, 6 is congested, had 7 once and won't do it again

I'm a big guy, but I find that more than four adults in the cockpit is . . . not good. People really don't want to stay in the cabin while sailing, the foredeck isn't the safest place to be, people on the coach roof risk decapitation during a tack.

Then again, I'm an introvert who most enjoys sailing alone . . .

I always have 1 or 2 who prefer the foredeck, and I agree that 4 in the cockpit is most comfortable, but five works OK if nobody is too big and I can shake off my old sitting to windward habit.

Five (total) is about it... leaving some swing room for the tiller opposite the helmsman.
