Trailerable Coastal Cruisers?

[bmiller]

After considering a larger boat for some time I'm now thinking of a trailerable coastal cruiser. I don't have strong enough feelings for any particular cruising area to purchase a large boat requiring moorage. With a trailerable I could cruise the PNW in the fall and then haul on down to the southeast for some sailing, maybe even Mexico. My boat would not be a limiting factor to possible cruising areas. And I could experience a variety of cruising areas prior to commiting to a larger boat.
I've been lusting over a Pacific Seacraft Orion for the last few months. Full keel, 10,000 lbs displcement, cutter rig and trailerable.
Any other suggestions? My intent is to hone skills doing coastal cruising until retirement, 8 years or so, then move up to a blue water cruiser and get the hell out of here for awhile.

Thanks, Bill
