In Response To: a day sailer makes sense for you ()
I was thinking of another design - the Bahama Sandpiper. Like the Whistler, it was designed by Chuck Paine, some were built by Morris Yachts, and it was available as a cat ketch. 24' LOA. This boat was designed so its masts can be stepped and unstepped single-handed. Very hard to come by, though.
