I don't see any advantage to keeping a reasonably sized trailer boat in
the water if you have a convenient, well-run boat ramp available.


For sure. That's my plan. Trouble is...it's hard to find a club that's
reasonably priced with good ramp facilities here. The vast majority of
the sailors have their sailboats at slips or on moorings.
One exception on the harbour would be a military base that has a yacht club.
