Hi Sam, The Open 6.5 is tempting. I'd love to play with one of those, but they're too small, and still reguire deep water for the bulb keel. I'm not really trying to solve this problem, it's a dream. The Figaro II is more attractive, and more expensive. Still deep, but better for offshore. A dream that is so far out of reach, it stays a dream.
A folding trimaran is faster and can be run onto a beach and trailered home for winter storage. Not much interior, but works for me, and may someday a reality. I think if I had one of those, she'd stay at the house most of the year and get launched for two week cruises, Spring and Fall, and maybe go south during the winter. I'd save $5000 a year on slip fees and haulout charges, alone. Hard to admit, but I've spent about $5K per year for slip fees times ten years; more than I spent to buy my boat. Wouldn't do it any differently, just saying. Making fast passages is one dream. Another dream I consider is an old daysailor I saw at Mystic Seaport called Galena or Fox. It is 18ft long, by 5 ft deep with gaff rigged main, three jibs, sprit, and topsail. A real salty looking daysailor that looks like a dream. I have pictures for anyone interested.
