For what you plan to do, ie. day sail with friends, something in the 22-26' range with a swing keel would be your best bet. Relatively easy to trailer and to handle. Definitely don't think you would want to go with a Hobie as a Catamaran is a totally difference animal than a keel type boat and has no creatur comforts at all. You definitely want a boat with at least a decent porta-potti set up if you intend to have females on board as requesting they just hang off the stern generally doesn't go over well
