Estimate??

I prefer single axle trailers because I can make some crazy turns possible without destroying my tires. I've seen new tires remedy some suspension issues but it's not the norm. As far as fish tailing and handling goes you want to make sure you have a reasonable tow vehicle, enough weight on the tongue (make sure your boat far forward on the trailer, adjust bow stand if needed) and maintain a safe speed. I've towed boats far heavier than I should have and didn't run into any issues until I started going too fast. There are some upgrades that can be done to your tow vehicle if it's under rated. Not all of them are possible nor worth the effort and expense.

I imagine that launch site will be difficult and might require two people since it doesn't have a dock. You will get wet. Once you launch, Im guessing that you'll have to anchor up, swim or row back in a dinghy/kayak, park your truck and trailer and then paddle back. I'm guessing that'll add 20-30 minutes. The average time to rig a trailer sailor is one hour. The Hunter may be less as others have commented

Yes, that's what others do there, is tie their boats to a rock, go park, pull their boats back as shallow as possible, wade in and climb aboard.
Might be a bit nippy this time of year, the water drops into the low 70's, rarely does anyone go swimming.
But the fishing is great.

Most of us got tired of towing to the ramp, an hour of rigging and then doing the reverse at the end of the day. This adds even more time. You will likely find yourself not sailing on many days because of all the hassle. This is when most of us get slips

I don't doubt that.

Unfortunately the closest slips are 90 minutes one way, 2 hours the other way.

A few have mooring balls (is that the right term?) off the beach, mostly the hotels have those, but the idea of leaving a boat unattended in that area seems like just begging to have it damaged or stolen.

Best of both worlds is a storage location with a ramp to store the boat on the trailer with the mast up.

Dry slips are popular like @Rick Webb said. You leave the mast up and rigged. All you need to do is hook up and launch. Saves a lot of time.

Dry slips?
I guess I'm not familiar with those.

Dry slips?

Leave your trailer sailor on its trailer with mast up at the marina. Boat's hull is dry until you put it in the water, thus a dry slip because the boat is still rigged to go sailing.

Ah.
I'll have to see if there are any there.
That would be nice.
