Consider an O'Day 25 or 26.

If you have a full size tow vehicle you can't beat an ODay 25 or 26 with shoalkeel and centerboard. I pull my O'Day 26 with a Ford 150. It weighs 4800 lbs plus trailer, has a 30 inch shoal keel that will get you close to that beach with the centerboard up, and has a great interior layout with 5'8" to 5'9" headroom, v-berth, double berth, single berth and short single berth. You can definitely sleep 4- my single berth is occuppied with sails, and the small single would work for my 6 year old grand-daughter only. The head is nice and is enclosed. There is a mast raising system, though I prefer to raise it with two people. Some of the 25's weigh less and have 5'6" headroom. Hope this helps.

Question for Paul H.

We've been to Kentucky Lake several times, but have not spent any time on Barkley. We were told that Barkley was not a good sailing lake. I noticed you were from Eddyville. Do you sail on Barkley or Kentucky Lake?

I like a nimble 26 Its 2' 10" draft and 5'7" head room is nice. It comes ketch riged so the masts go up easey It has a hidden out bord laserett locker and swing keel It allso comes as a moter sailer.Nimble boats come up to 32' and are all trailerable you could have a deisle inbord .This is a great setup .I have a C30 1989 now and I hate haveing yard bills.
