Well - my 2 cents - poop and get off the pot. You're going to be sailing up and down the Chesapeake. Overnighting, coastal weekending, once a year a two week trip...doesn't matter what boat you buy. Not a lot of them that can't fulfill your requirements. Buy one and get out there and sail it. You will grow to love it, regardless of what it is, and then one day one of it's little idiosyncracies will just tee you right off and you'll sell it and start all over again. You need a hull that doesn't leak, a mast that is stout, sails that aren't too damaged, a head with a privacy curtain and an anchor. Everything else, including an engine, is non-essential and can be acquired when the need arises.
