time to switch boats

.... It's a small beam, 23 foot, easily trailerable cat that sleeps 4. I won't mention the size of the head for obvious reasons.

Agree that it appears a nice little cat, but easily trailerable???
It says that beam is 12 feet, and I don't see any hinges

Oops - spoke too soon .... How'd they DO that?

I guess I'm going to move on too. No reason to own a motorhome with sails when it's just me or one other person most of the time. Sailing was something I hoped the entire family would enjoy...
I think I'll look for something a little smaller. Maybe a Santana or Schock...

Dik...

Good point Frank, "easily" was a poor word choices. We don't trailer very often as we have a slip each season, but I knew had a trailer -- and that was "easy" enough for me. My real point was to change the subject from... well, you know what.

Anyway, as long as I can tow it with the old Taurus, I'm happy.

If you like the powersailer aspects of the 26, but just want smaller -- you should consider a . We went with ours instead of an because we didn't plan to overnight often enough to justify a big boat -- plus slip fees for under-20-footers are half the cost here. If I recall correctly, I think the size was part of Chris's (cbhinkel) rationale for selling his and getting a as well.

The admiral insisted on having a private potty, if she was to come along on any trips. My little girls couldn't wait to try the novelty even on short trips of a couple hours for the first year. I was always cleaning that thing out.
..
My clean out was to carry the portapotty off while the boat was in the driveway, dump it in the toilet in the house then flush to septic tank, next take portapotty out by the woods where the hose could reach, put in a gallon or too of water, close cap, shake, dump in woods, repeat until the smell was acceptable. Wash hands thoroughly.
..
Note: I forgot to empty the portapatty once for a month, and after that length of time the smell is gone even before dumping it out initially. I rarely ever used the green toilet liquid in the portapotty bottom, and never filled the flush revservoir, never even opened the flush reservior. When the portapotty is sealed up there was never a smell in the head. Hand sanitizer was used most of the time instead of water for washing after.

Get a laser or walker bay like me Esperanza for quick single-handed jaunts. Get a big motor for true motorboat performance to match the awsome Mac interior and backup motor(sail). Get the 5 gallon potty Moe for 3-5 day trips without overflow worry(also more comfortable). With wife and kid, my x potty sees plenty of use, and I still think the oft-criticized bathroom sink is proper place for washing "bathroom hands".
