under 2ft draft - options for far off shore trailer-able boat?

[Paceship.org]

I'm loving the Paceship PY23 which has a 20" draft with the steel stub keel and centerboard. I've had it for 20 years and though haven't been looking, haven't really seen anything else so stable in strong conditions - and maybe I'm missing something so asking y'all.

Are the other other low-draft trailer-ables that one would feel confident in strong conditions 100 miles off shore?

Being able to deal with strong conditions is very important, additionally -
self-launchable
sleeps 4
spinnaker capable

I'm looking at getting a replacement PY23 with a strong deck because my balsa-core deck has several soft spots and getting another hull may be easier than re-coring.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

(before cleaning after sitting under a FL tree for 2 years).

The only small off shore capable boat I know of is the 20' Flicka built by Pacific Seacraft.

I would not take a PY 23 100 miles offshore.

Norwalk Island Sharpies seem to have good reports on long hauls offshore: https://www.nisboats.com/pdfs/BassStraitHobartCharlieFisher.pdf

A great story of fierce waters, a well founded boat and the skills of sailors with knowledge of the sea.
Thanks.
