John Cairns Nice, but a touch much for what I have in mind. Looks up to a crossing. Also, fairly shallow draft but I think a keel/cb might make more sense for the areas I want to sail. If I can avoid dealing with a dink it would be a plus. Frank |

Tusting that this group is not on the verge of changing to Alt.Kiaminivan, your valued input is sought. Original plan - 1.) Sell current house. 2.) Move to Mississippi Gulf Coast. 3.) build house and shop on optioned lot on Biloxi Back Bay. 4.) Start business, woodworking and marine related. 5.) buy next sailing craft 35' plus or minus in length. Because of the chaos and general paralaysis that continues on the coast and because of some other issues, I've decided that this plan is not workable in the near term, maybe not for a number of years. Time moves on and I'm not getting any younger. So, I'm considering staying put for a while. But I need something to sail. While in Florida I determined that what I really should consider near term is a very nice trailerable sailer (oxymoron?). I can haul it to the coast and gunkhole in the areas I want to sail and when at home I can use it on the half dozen lakes that are 1-3 hours away. I've also always wanted to make a trip down Jamie Whittens folly (TenTom) to Mobile Bay. Requirements: reasonably good sailor accomodations for two (fairly good sports) for several days to a week at a time total package( boat wet with motor and trailer) less than 5000 lbs reasonable resale I have something in mind, but your suggestions: Frank I'm not sure what they are making currently, but Seaward made some good quality trailer pocket cruisers from about 19 feet to I think, 32. Not really sport boats, but with your criteria, you are going to face more compromises than you would with picking out a boat using less restrictive qualifications. I think they had a 23 footer that might be about what you are describing. No standing headroom, but enough room for two people "camping" on board with gear. Here's another thought: Panama. MUCH nicer than Florida for a tiny fraction of the cost. Out of the hurricane belt, too. Actually, I've a couple of kids that are scholarshipped up and require me to be a Mississippi resident for at least a few more years. Not to mention a lot of family and property interests in the state. Terry & Skipper, Clearlake Texas |

Examples of the 27' can be found for as little as 35k, which compares nicely to the price for a new loaded Mac. In any event, Frank apparently wants something cheaper and less capable than a Nor'sea.
