I’m seriously interested in buying an approx. 25’ sailboat for sailing primarily on the San Francisco bay as well as occasional long weekends on Clear Lake, about 3 hours from here. Planned usage is by my wife & I and 2 kids for daysailing and overnighting, but I suspect I will be doing some single-handing as well. So far, I’ve looked at the following trailerable sailboats, including the Macgregor 26M, the Catalina 250, as well as the Potter 19, but haven’t actually sailed any of these boats. I plan to keep it in the water at a marina or dry sail it (depending on launching & rigging ease), but am thinking of buying a trailerable so we can visit the lake a couple of times a year. I like the spaciousness of the Macgregor (as well as the big motor) and the Catalina 250 WB, but I've heard some comments that water ballasted boats aren't really suitable for typical SF Bay conditions. Also, the Mac & Catalina seem a bit too much to tow comfortably with my minivan (3,500lb limit), although maybe I could rent a truck to tow it a couple of times a year to the lake? The Potter 19 may be a good compromise - easy trailerability, supposedly stout and easily single-handeded, and I've seen many on the Bay, but it is very small inside and has no enclosed head (an important feature for the Admiral!) I would really appreciate getting your feedback.
