This is probably going to sound like a very open-ended question, but
if you were an inexperienced sailor looking to buy a new 23 foot
sailboat with a swing keel to be primarily used in river and bay
cruising, what would you choose?

And how about if you were looking for a used 25 foot sailboat with a
swing keel in very good condition under $10,000?

Catalina 25. Light enough to be trailered, a lot of them around so there's
always a good selection, and, if you're real lucky, you might be able to
find a late model wing keel. This is not the current model Catalina 250, the
previous model Catalina 25.
