Currently an owner of a 1977 CBC Buccaneer 18, is a quick daysailer... but a bit too squirrely for myself, wife and 8 year old son. Looking to upgrade to a "cruisable" or at least over night-able trailer sailer. Need to be under 2000 pounds including trailer / motor, we don't want to purchase a new vehicle too.... . Must be able to accommodate a stove/sink, and porta pottie So far I've come up with:
West Wight Potter - Don't really like the tug boat ook of it or the dagger board that is in the middle of the cabin.
Hunter 19-2 - not 100% thrilled with water ballast, also looks kind of dumpy.
Starwind 19 - looks nice and might be the ticket
Precision 18 - not really for cruising and limited cabin space.
We really like the "new Model" Catalina 22 (1986 to 1995), but it's just too heavy for us to tow.
Also the Precision 21 is really nice too, still a bit tooo heavy.
We are looking for something that sails nice (or okay) is trailerable and can accommodate 3 -4 people overnight or for a short cruise and will be good for our family of 3.
We are located in Eugene OR
Any other suggestions for other possibilities would be appreciated!
thanks--Ian
