I used to have a Hobie 16 and would launch it on the beach. Just back close-ish and drag it down. How light of a boat (comparatively to a typical "trailer sailor") do I need for that? My Hobie 16 is a bit small for what I want and, as it turns out, my current hunter 31 is bigger (and more expensive) than I want. The only small monohull I've sailed is a Scotty and that seemed too heavy to truly be beachable. Should I stick to looking for catamarans?
