My buddy has one and I think it's a perfect daysailer that you could also do some camping in.

Just don't be lulled in by a super-cheap boat, there are lots out there. If you pay just a little more, you can often end up with good sails, good trailer, good motor for just 2-3k. You'd spend a grand or more on any of those upgrades, so it's not worth going cheap (ask me how I know)

Even if you get a great 22 footer, I still think it's worth getting a cheap dinghy to start out on. That way when you're learning to SAIL, you don't have to worry about the bull###t of launching, docking, tying up etc. And when you screw up, you can just pull it up on the beach without any help (ask me how I know)
