Re: Sailing Lake Michigan

You could spend week easy staying in Grand Traverse Bay. I would recommend checking out a Lake Michigan Cruising guide or check out the Great Lakes Cruising Club website.

Re: Sailboats that can be trailered easily.

What you want is a catboat with a mast tabernacle. Easy to rig, tons of cabin space, shallow draft, and easy to trailer. And they are fast.

Re: Eliminate main sheet traveller?

Vang sheeting works well for dinghys but on a larger boat like yours I would be afraid of breaking something. Get your traveler system working well and play around with it. You will be glad you have...
