Hi - newbie here. I am possibly looking to buy a C18. I am wondering if its the right boat for me. I have done all the on-line reading. Here's some desired characteristics and related thoughts:
Small, trailberable, stable, ease of operation.
I am 62, slightly overweight with 50 years of sailing experience and ownership (but not an expert).
Day sailing only, in saltwater harbor close coast
Wind prevailing 10-15kts with occasional chop.
The boat will be moored, so self-bailing is desired
Mainly single-handling, but up to 3-4 people on rare occasion
Not interested in speed/performance.
Money is tight
Pls comment - I appreciate all input. Thx
