I love my little 1977 San Juan 21 built by the Clark Boat Co. It will sleep 3 or 4 people, tacks and sails great, and I pull it with a 4 cly. Neon. It only weighs about 1400 pounds and has a 420 pound swing keel. The keel goes up inside of the boat and does not stick out like a Catalina 22. Draft: Keel up 12"s-Keel down 41/2'. It is nimble and fast for a cabin boat. If you ever have a chance to sail one, I think you will love it too! 
I am taking it in May to do the Fla120 and in June the B.E.E.R. Cruise. Next year the Texas200. In between I'll be sailing on Kentucky Lake, Stockton Lake, MO, Carlyle Lake,IL, and hopefully Lake Michigan.
I tried to post a picture, but not successful. You can see some at:www.sanjuan21.net. You can see them in action on youtube.com.
Anything that sails and does not sink is an ideal boat!
