Most boats
I've seen racing on inland waters look to me to be trailerable size.

The class A scows are 38 ft long, but narrow.

One example doesn't invalidate the premise which is that most inland
water racing sailboats are small enough to be taken out of the water
to have their bottoms cleaned.
My point was all, not just most ,inland racers,even the biggest A
scows can easily hauled out. Little winch on a trailer.

I didn.t make myself clear. A scows are trailered to whatever lake has
the races that weekend. They put the rig up and down every weekend the
boat is used.

OK - I thought you meant the opposite.

I don't think this is true of all race boats - we have the Governor's
Cup which goes from Annapolis (the current capitol of MD) to St.
Mary's City which was the former capitol. It's a fairly long race
down the Chesapeake, and around into the Potomac and up the St. Mary's
River - starts Friday night, and the boats have to be finished by
Saturday morning. So there are some pretty big boats involved. But
it's not a one class race. Probably some non-trailerable types in
there.
