You might want to check out McGregor boats. There are trailerable and have water ballast to keep weight down so you end up with a boat about 27' with galley, berths etc. that can be towed with a small car (see their promo vids). This worked well for me and then I went for the full monty and launched my own steel boat in Nanaimo 2 years ago (youtube.com/seascene) and now live aboard and sail in any weather (virtually) to anywhere (globally) but probably will never leave BC/HaidaGwaii/Alaska coasts ...to see it all would take a lifetime. But anyway, there is nothing like taking the bite out of a bitter day or 2 by securing the yak topsides and going below for the luxury of dryness, heat and a fully equipped galley. Even makes winter kayaking all that much more enjoyable...all the comforts, few power boats ...just quality time with nature. Looking for a X-Mas gift?
