Lightbulb To Alberg or not to Alberg

Im a green horn sailer looking to buy a classic daysailer. I love the large cockpit of the Pearson Commander and the classic lines of the Ensign.

My goals are:
Stable boat when it blows
Large cockpit
As much head room as possible for the head (port-a-poty)
LOA 28 max
Beam 9 Max (due to current slip)
Classic look
Inboard if possible
Daysailor weekender

All comments are welcome.

Thanks

Re: To Alberg or not to Alberg

All Albergs can be drastically improved, by pulling that rudder off the keel, and replacing it with a skeg hung rudder much further aft.
