Absolutely. I maintained Derreen, a Monk 36, myself. Everytime I HAD* to 
frequently wash her, occasionally wax her hull and cabinsides, or rarely 
Cetoled her trim or painted her bottom, I was grateful that she was not an 
inch bigger.

(HAD* -- that's how I looked at these chores. If you love to do these 
things, then a larger boat might be proper for you.)
