Advice on trailerable cruiser to buy.
I know this is probably a often asked question, but here goes (maybe again).
I have a great Hobie 16 that I have sailed in Mission Bay, San Diego for the last 8 years. But now, I've got a lovely wife and two kids (6 and 2). Bottom line, I need to ditch the cat and buy a monohull that is fairly dry and cozy for the family members. I am looking for a used boat that is: 1. trailerable (i.e. light and swing keel; I have a Jeep Liberty to tow) 2. inexpensive (under $4000) 3. easy to sail by one or two people 4. extremely safe 5. fairly fast under sail (I coming off a cat after all) 6. able to handle an outboard motor 7. has a cabin. Been looking at MacGregor (19?) and Hunter (water ballast systems seems very safe), and Catalina. Any advice on these or others would be greatly appreciated as well as where to look to buy. Thanks, Wes |
