We built that little 11.5' sailing pram in the "avatar" photo you see above next to my name. Stitch and glue, plywood/fibreglass/epoxy composite. Smaller than what you're thinking about, but similar construction concept. Plywood/'glass is a great material for small boat construction. However, the weight eventually does add up and if you go a whole lot larger than what we built you are no longer in the car-toppable realm, if that's what you're after when you say "daysailer". I like the looks of the designs you posted above, but I think most of them would require a trailer.
I second the suggestion to consider a kit if you don't have a lot of experience or tools. Make sure you have plenty of space for the build. Don't forget you'll need to flip the hull several times during construction and will need clearance on all sides (including above) to do this. Good luck to you.
