    Looking for plans for a double ended shoal draft trailer sailor to 26 feet prefer no lofting .

    OR any classic looking trailer sailor of same size.

    I have searched Clarkcraft and its competetor but find nothing there, dont like Spray seies. Already have plans for vacationer but boat is too small and too flat bottomed although I consider the line interesting

    Try a Norwalk island Sharpie, maybe a 23. Room for light cruising, trailerable, easy to build.
    Otherwise, Bolger's (Cape?.. or is it saint?) Valery and lastly a st Pierre dory, which can be built at various lengths, is trailerable and like the first two, with easy ply construction.
    Each are safe boats which can stand some offshore jaunts. Your trailer weight (all up) shouldn't exceed 5000 lbs with any of them.
    The Sprays are a bit rotund looking at that length, I think.
