I have done a very limited amount of small sailboat sailing. Attend a few day long class close to 20 years ago.
So, pretty much a noob. 57 years old. Looking to do some lake/coastal sailing on something I can trailer behind a car and rig in a reasonable amount of time.
Would be bringing my wife. Would like to maybe do some overnighting aboard (while anchored or grounded).
Would like something a little fun, but not so much fun that I'll go swimming regularly.
Seen a few things on local CL. Hobycat Holder 14, O'Day Daysailer II 17, O'Day 20 and 23. Various other similar boats. There is a Seafarer Challenger 23 that looks quite cool and possibly capable of heading offshore a bit on, but it is fixed keel and therefore probably not a practical trailer sailor.
Would like to hear thoughts on these or recommendations on others to look at. I am in Connecticut, in case there is someone in the area that might have something for me.
