It doesn't tow bad,

The biggest daysailor I know of is the A scow. 38 feet long, about a
ton. They trailer them to whatever lake has the races that weekend,
and many of them go in and *come out every time they are used. My 22
foot sterndrive cuddy [that compqrtment forward is really just a big
locker] is no trouble. Having a well designed trailer is the secret.
Take that back, the 12 meters are daysailors. They don't trailer them
much tho.

Well, my bass boat is almost as long as my sailboat, but the
difference is that with my bass boat, I can launch easily myself
because there's no real setup involved. That just isn't true with the
sail boat!

A guy told me once. "If you want to learn to handle your sailboat, go
racing". His point as he followed was that you get into a class of
boats similar to yours and get to sail with them for the day. Even if
you are not competitive, you get to watch folks handle a boat like
yours all day long, folks who are very efficient at running a boat
just like yours..
