Are we taking more than 2 people? And the boat is already in the Sailboat Hall of Fame? Then the winner is the Catalina 22, pop top/swing keel preferred..but we're biased, having owned one.
Ah, I see, you've arrived at my dilemma too. Is it best to have a total open boat or a cabin for camp cruising? Less than 20' will always win for ease of set up, mast raising and ramp-ability!
This has been a lot of fun and I've really enjoyed the discussions/comments.

What fun this is! The choice between the Scamp and the Sea Pearl is going to be interesting!
But only if the Scamp gets past the Monty 17 first! A choice too painful to anticipate (As I've owned and loved both).
So clever, all of this, esp. the play by play!
