Which Trailer Sailor

[pelmetman]

Hidehi,

Just joined and hope to pick your brains, we trying to sell up and retire... planning next year to go traveling Europe in our elderly campervan for a few years, but got to thinking it would be nice to have a trailer sailor to give us something to do apart from sit in the sun eating and drinking.....

We have had a couple of boats in the past, our last was a Pegasus 800.

I'm after suggestions, as our Gross train weight only allows us a maximum of 730kg.......currently thinking a West Weight Potter 15 would suit..

Anyone done or doing the same?

Wayfarer would be lighter and therefore kinder in terms of MPG.
Would sail better too.
West wight potter does potter.
I suppose a steel lifting keel might be an advantage - small drascombe?
What is your budget?

Skipper 17? A nice stable boat and easy to sail. There are a few for sale at the moment on Ebay and the Skipper Yahoo group.

Sorry chaps i seem to have two threads going on this subject.....please see my 730 kg trailer sailer thread

As for budget.....kinda depends on the sale of the house and the wife...

Edit..... to say I'm not selling the wife
