I am looking for a sailing vessel to single/doublehand, primarily
cruising in SF bay with possible aspirations for offshore races, ok
with sparse accomodations (lived on Albin 79 1/4 tonner for 4 months
while cruising Bahamas) - more luxurious than E27 but no larger and
slower). I also anticipate sailing on east coast/Bahamas in winter
months (The E27 draft is ok for Bahamas - similar to Albin 79. I
realize the E27 cannot be ramp launched, but would appreciate any
comments about trailering long distances and effects on boat wear and
tear (I get the human part). Thanks in advance. Any alternatives
(e.g. Olson25) to E27 that would be suitable for SF would be
appreciated.
