Basically I want a sailboat that is able to keep my family safe to go sail camping in the islands of the puget sound and Salish sea, a place with strong currents and winds often. We are two adults and two younger kids.
So things I think about:
Has to be beachable, basically load up camping gear, food and water and head to islands for camping, pull up onto a beach a launch from it later
Has to be stable, nothing that can easily capsize if my kids distract me and a gust catches us by surprise.
Somewhat comfortable for four people to cruise a couple miles. I don't plan on doing any super long voyages with the whole family. Just getting from boat launch to a couple miles out to some islands. I may do extended voyages myself or with my wife. So single handed ability would be great. I plan to use it for the Salish 100 alone or with my wife.
Has to be trailerable and 18 ft or less.
Thanks for any input.
