That Nordica 20 looks like a real "popeye" boat. One thing I'm looking
for is a how well I can trailer it. That boat would not be allowed to
be stored at my home by the homeowners association. I'll take a closer
look at one. The fisherman's model reminds me of the African Queen.
Cool boats, though. Fixed keel is a must.

Ah, you have specific requirements! Why didn't you share that with
use before asking such a general question?

So where are you sailing? By cruising do you meaning daysailing, over
nights, or several weeks? For one person, two, or more? Do you need
easy haulouts, or will it be left in the water? Do you want classic
looks or will a "clorox bottle" be OK?

My own tastes run towards the heavier, classic small boats, so I'm
guessing my choices would not work for you. For instance, I'm looking
forward to getting one of these in my dotage:
