Hi awhile ago I sold my Westsail 32, after many long years of fine
service. I just can't afford the slip fees any longer. I held on as
long as I could but when they decided to turn our marina into a condo
and private marina it was time to sell. Anyway, It's really hard being
without a boat, so I have been thinking about a trailerable sailboat as
there is plenty of room next to the house to store the boat on a
trailer. Something in the 18-20' range. My offshore days are in the
past so she will pretty much spend her time on the ICW and the St Johns
River with an occasional venture offshore if the weather is
exceptional. A boat that is large enough to have a small cabin yet
small enough for one man to rig. Does anyone know where I might start
my search? what boats I might start looking at?

Well, it's pretty easy to pick up a Cal 20 or Santana 22 for a low
cost. Both are very stiff, seaworthy boats (with some work), and have
drafts of about 3-1/2, so trailering isn't a problem. The Cal, for
example can accomodate three people in a pinch, depending on the
interior, but I wouldn't recommend it for more than a night. Even one
person for more than a couple of days isn't a lot of fun.

Both are easily rigged and sailed by one person. The Cal has an
exceptionally large standard rudder/tiller, which makes it easy to
handle even if the wind picks up.
