The biggest daysailor I know of is the A scow. 38 feet long, about a
ton. They trailer them to whatever lake has the races that weekend,
and many of them go in and *come out every time they are used. My 22
foot sterndrive cuddy [that compqrtment forward is really just a big
locker] is no trouble. Having a well designed trailer is the secret.
Take that back, the 12 meters are daysailors. They don't trailer them
much tho.

Well, my bass boat is almost as long as my sailboat, but the
difference is that with my bass boat, I can launch easily myself
because there's no real setup involved. That just isn't true with the
sail boat!
