Corbin 39 questions

[bigsky13]

Hi,
I was hoping that there were some Corbin 39 owners or people that have sailed on one that could tell me about their experiences and give me their opinions on regularly singlehanding a Corbin 39. Or anything else they know about the boat ... the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

I do have experience in singlehand docking and handling a 35 foot boat that had a lot of windage and pulled crazy random maneuvers in the wind and currents.

I am looking at possibly buying a Corbin 39. If I did, I would rig it with lines to the cockpit, roller furling genoa, lazy jack type system for dropping the main, autopilot, windvane steering system and maybe a bow thruster. I have read about the weather helm issues on some. But if that was fixed, would it be a good sailboat to singlehand or still just a giant pain in the butt to deal with?

Thanks!
