There are a lot of trailerables that don't sacrifice sailing performance for trailerability. The Corsair F24, F28, the Telstar 28, and Dragonfly 800/900 trimarans are very easy to trailer and sail quite well.

The problem with making a monohull sailboat trailerable is the deeper draft and heavier mass that is necessary to make the monohull sail well conflicts with the need for a shallow draft and lighter weight for trailering.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
