Anyone want to recommend a good wooden sailboat to build?
 
I'm looking for a trailer sailer, likely 16-18'.

I've read a bit about the Hartley sailboats, but I'd like some people's
opinions before starting down the long path of building a sailboat.
It's for use on local lakes and rivers, mailnly for weekned trips, and
not for the open ocean, or sailing around the Horn.

Thanks,
Mike in Saskatoon

Try a Wayfarer, a 16' Ian proctor design designed for daysailing the
english coast. There is a class of them, you can camp with it, it
preforms with a strong wind, but is a little sluggish in very light
airs, and is very seaworthy. You could explore lac laRonge with some
confidence. But ...so many boats so little time....peter
