Cruising Yachts For Sale Cruising yachts are the most common sailing yacht in Australia, most ranging between
25 to 50 ft (7 to 15m) in length.
It is hard to cover all types in one general description but they need to have a balance between
docile handling qualities, generous living space, good light-wind performance and on-board
comfort. Larger cruising yachts are capable of taking passages on long-rang cruises and across
sea's of many thousands of miles. Such boats will have an average cruising speed of 6+ knots.
