I love this thought. I sailed happy years in a 21ft trailerable boat. If your crew is content that it’s basically camping at that size, then your cruising grounds are only limited to how far you’re willing to drive (or ferry) to the start of your adventure. And there’s always room for a small one at the shallow end of a busy anchorage.
Both very good benefits to point out about these little boats. And yes, camping, but way more comfortable than a tent!

My mother called the Mirage 24 a ladies boat as it was so easy to sail. We sailed probably the first one. My dear friend Wolfgang Dzimbowski built this model at Mirage yachts (with Dick Steffen as the president.) Alan

Hi Felicity,
That’s a nice endorsement, although I’m not sure it’s fair to women! That said, I have seen the boat out sailing and she does look well mannered.
