cruising yacht
What length yacht would be suitable for sailing/cruising around the world alone?
If you could recommend a particular make or model that would nice.
I'm no sea sailor, a lake sailor here. So this is NOT advice, but here are a few comments: Would depend on many factors, not simply the length of the boat. If one is comfortable in relatively small spaces, a Flicka 20 or Contessa 26 in very good condition and rightly set up for it, has proved up for the task for some experienced sailors. And it goes up from there. The real question is to pick a blue water designed boat in excellent condition and well rigged and provisioned for the task (not a costal cruiser type, and certainly not a protected waters cruiser or day sailor). There are many boats of all these categories.
Often question you are asking is one that a beginner asks.
Once you have sailed for a few years, you will likely have learned enough that the question will not need to be asked.
If you are a beginner sailor, a better question might be what sort of boat should I 'learn' to sail on. The answer is often "the one you will sail on the most" in the waters you have immediately available to you to sail on. A smaller tiller steered sailboat will give a better feel for sailing, when learning and you will be more able to learn correctly in the beginning.
Crossing oceans is something that is best done once one has years of sailing under their belt, in a variety of different weather conditions, having many, many, many (as in thousands of) miles of sailing practice under their belts.
The question then is where is the water 'close to me' where I can begin to learn to sail and get the years of practice and training? What are those waters like? Ocean, river, lake, or sound? What kind of boat would be appropriate for those waters?
Many new sailors begin to sail with no boat at all!
They do this by joining a sailing club and making friends and crewing on various boats. Sail club members often race and need crew, many will train a very willing rank beginner gladly enough.
Sailing lessons will also get you sailing quick enough.
OK, good luck.
I can't tell you how many hours of sheerest joy (and maybe a few of rank terror) I have had sailing.
A grand thing to me...
PS: There is a book titled something to the effect of "20 sailboats to take you anywhere" that might be of help after you have had a few years of sailing under your belt if you are indeed a beginner as I suspect.

How much do these various Oyster Cruising Yachts cost? –
I was looking at ads for places today, and happened across this
A classic old car is fun for a month or two. They may eat you up in repair expenses. My son has a 76 Fire bird in his garage that
he probably has not driven in ten to fifteen years.
Those old 8 cylinder converts probably get 8 to 10 miles per gallon.
My experience has been that the best way to get rich is not
waste money. But if owning a lot of obsolete stuff is more
important than having wealth, well…that is a choice you always make.
