Funny. My first sailing was in the Boy Scouts. I bought a Venture 21 last Spring. Very fun. Light and CHEAPLY made. Trailer sailed all over the place. Got the bug for a bigger boat. Sold the Venture for a blow out 1200 with trolling motor, new battery and trailer. Purchased a C&C 27 now on the Columbia River. Good times.
You will see Catalinas all day long for cheap. They are a little heavier and better built than my Venture. The issue I had with a trailer sailor is that it took almost an hour to step the mast. This always seemed to be 90 degree heat and it sort of took the shine off the trip.
Good luck. This is lots of fun.
