Get a trailer sailor or find a mooring can...



A trailerable boat is out for me as I do a lot of single-hand. I'm not sure
I'd feel comfortable storing my boat to a mooring all season! Thanks!


huh? Why wouldn't you be able to singlehand a trailer sailerable boat?
We had an O'Day 22 and it was singlehanded all the time by either one
of us...and we've had our boat on a mooring...what's the problem with
that??? If you're worried about stepping the boat alone, it's really not
that difficult when you use a come-along...It's a way to get around the
waiting for a slip thing...you put the boat on the mooring and sail off
it while waiting for your name to come up on the list...in fact, you
will become a better sailor learning to sail on and off a can than you
would coming and going from a dock....
