This Vanderstadt and McGruder is the perfect compact fibreglass sailboat for weekend (or longer) cruises as well as daysailing. A lively performer in even light winds, these boats really hold their value. Her mast is a breeze to step and take down, she's got a large cuddy cabin for this size boat, and pulls like a dream behind even small cars (boat weighs around 800#s). The compact cabin has ample room for overnight stays on the lake (and you can't beat the gas mileage on a sailboat ;)
