Swing keel 25
This is my problem. my mini van is rated for 2000 lbs
Sailboat I'm getting is 1200 lbs 4 or 6 horsepower motor about 60 trailer about 300 no room for any extras DSK wrote in message ... My wife and I daysailed, weekended, and cruised, in a trailerable for over ten years. Often we went in company with fellow club members or friends with trailerable sailboats, so we got to see a lot in action. The boat that we chose was quite a bit smaller (19')for reasons of practicality. In the size range you're looking at, the most bang for the buck will be one of these: MacGregor 26 MacGregor LOA=25.8 LWL=23.8 Bm=7.9 Dr=1.2/5.3 MONO-WB Sloop-Fr Disp=2,850 Ballast=1,225 SA=236 They were built from about 1987 to 1995, and their biggest flaw is that they are bulky on land and tippy in the water. But they are relatively fast & roomy boats. Of course nobody at the yacht club will be impressed. If i have one suggestion, that is to keep the weight down. Lots of people are tearing up their cars and especially their trannies & brakes trying to tow boats that are 102% of their vehicles tow capacity. You're far better off at about 75% or less. Remember too that trailer maintenance is one of the trade-offs of not having to pay for a slip... Fresh Breezes- Doug King Here is a list of other trailerable boats in the size range you're looking. There are MANY more out there.
