wheel for sale or trade

I've got a standard 6 spoke, 32" diameter wheel. I would love to get something a little smaller, maybe 24-26".
Anyone looking for a larger wheel that would like to trade? I'm in the northern neck of VA.

The reason I want to go smaller, it's a pain in the butt to get around the wheel. I realize the larger wheel gives me a mechanical advantage, but I'm not a diehard sailor to begin with. I just want some easier to manuver around.
I found one on craigslist that is 28" and that would help some, but I'd like to work a trade instead of buying one.
If anyone is interested in a trade, email me at ccwms34@aol.com
