Labatt-
Even a lifting keel boat often draws enough water to make it difficult to launch at many ramps. If you're interested in a cool mast raising rig, you should check out the system on the Telstar 28.

You might need an F350 to haul it, but that's what you get for having a high quality trailerable.
CONTAINER YACHTS
My guess, however, is the market is too small for someone to pay a lot for a really nice trailerable.

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.
