Just starting out advice needed
 

Can anyone recommend a good swing keel boat 21 - 23' that I can trailer
?

I love sailing full keel boats as I feel they handle well but know
there are limitations for trailers. I have seen trailers for the
Sailstar Corinthian 19' but I am looking for something a little bigger
like a Tanzer 22 or Hunter 22 for cruising with family. I'll be
sailing in Barnegat Bay, NJ. If I can't trailer a 22' full keel then a
swing keel would do best as second. I plan to leave the boat at the
marina April -Oct and then bring it home in the off season.

Any advice is very welcomed Dan.

Don't over look an Aquarius 23'. We had one when the two kids were
little and trailered it around the NW. Puget Sound, Desolation sound
for 28 day's,Gulf islands,Vancouver island, Astoria oregon, and
columbia river in the portland area. It was a great summer home and
moorage was cheap.The Boat could have used more head room and the swing
keel made it easy to beach for lunch and sand castle building. Sailed
fine if you kept it flat.
It was easy to rig even in the dark with a flashlight. We had a tandem
axle trailer and Astro van.

This boat was reasonably popular in Canada and still available on
occasion.
