Dwight Yes is a great boat but is like running with one foot stapled to ground. I sail in 2 areas each season 250 NM seperated by water and do not wish to do two deliveries a year. There are a number of 30-1 in our club and they are indeed great boats. I just dont see me trailering them home and parking them beside my house - I would have to thae the route my friend Doug did and build a new house across street from club - maybe buy that one for sale beside RNSYS for only 6.5 million .... One thing I do wish to say about 30-1 and larger. Friends went from a Aloha 27 to a 30-1 and loved it. However the loads on the winches were a lot higher and were one reason they sold the boat. Oh - and stapled to the ground means my lidfe is centered around the geographic area of one sailing ground not too - unless I do what some have done and tracvel teh world afloat .. then will not be a trailerable ...

I like this topic because at one end is the Macgregor 26 that has tried to convince the world what compromises are necessary to have a trailerable pocket cruiser. Cant sail and cant motor ... At the other there are boats like Flying Tiger 10m, Andrews 28, Seaward 32 that show what a trailerable boat can be. It can be a cruiser, it can be 32 ft LOA, it can be blisteringly fast, it can be a combination of these. There is no reason why a sport boat cannot do everything and have a usable interior and be fast. Well actually there is one over riding reason. Cost. it would likely cost about 3 times as much to build this boat as the market would be willing to pay for one. But that is what lotteries are for. Win a big enough lottery and you can open your own boat yard and hire a design and manufacturing team, buy out C&C for the 200th time and build one. The next year you will of course have to sell the boat and work til you are 95 years old because it is a money losing business - but still ....
