Default What size do you think I should build?

The sage advice is to build the smallest boat that will do the job. You
probably will seldom take a large group, but make going solo difficult with
the longer hull.
What I'm saying is that 90% of the time or more the smaller boat will be
better for you (and no boat will ever be right 100% of the time).

Do you think that the longer boat would be much more difficult to sail solo?
Launching and trailering would be more difficult but the actual sailing part.

I was thinking of launching/trailering/beaching/connecting outriggers etc
more than sailing as once it's on the water and sailing it wouldn't be too
difficult.

Remember also it's harder to store a longer boat.

I have a place to store it at either size but I think that the longer boat
might be a little too difficult to get in and out of the water by myself.
