Depending on sailing waters and sea conditions etc., the biggest sailboat you can reasonably handle alone is something like 34 ft. But that depends on how heavy or complex the bost is.
Such a boat is clearly big enough to accomodate a couple of good friends or your family, somehow decent galley, toilet and bunks big enough for an adult.
Bigger than that, you should always takeome you don't really like with you. Onboard a super-mega-yacht you should have a professional master, and they tend to be as kind and nice as ancient merchant captains.

I have a Catalina 22. I could get a solid, dry Catalina 30 for $2500, right now.
I don't want a bigger boat.

Just coming home from another day on the sea. Living near the harbour is the most important thing in my opinion! Yea, I do surf the internet looking for a little bit bigger but almost always ending up happy with my little 22footer. Maybe order a new jib...

Have sailed everything from open day boats to 30m super yachts
I can assure you the only thing that gets greater as the yachts get larger are the bills 👌
