Any thoughts on the subject? Trailerable would be a plus but not necessarily
needed. Must be able to weekend and stand at least moderate weather. Length
up to discussion.

Given your rather un-defined parameters, I'd say probably a Seaward Fox with the
sloop rig. It's trailerable, yet carries a 450 pound lead keel. It has a lot of
room for an under 20 foot sailboat, and it can handle pretty dramatic conditions
without making them more dramatic. It's not the fastest boat, but it sails quite
well in a wide range of conditions, and for entry level, it provides a very
stable, easy to manage experience. They are well made, forgiving little boats.

If you want to go offshore look at the Pacific Seacraft Flicka. Many have
circumnavigated. I would call them barely trailerable with a full size tow
vehicle. Would love one myself but can't justify the money for the coastal
Chesapeake Bay sailing that I do.
