Trailer Sailer 32
Description
The Trailer Sailer 32 is a modern, trailerable cruising sailboat designed by Chesapeake Marine Design (CMD) in the USA, emphasizing road transportability while delivering seaworthy performance for coastal and inland cruising. Introduced in the 2000s as a kit or plans-based build, it's constructed from plywood and epoxy with a strip-planked radius chine hull for strength and lightness. This design pushes the boundaries of trailerable boats (typically under 26 ft due to highway limits), achieving "maximum road size" with a beam under 8'10" for legal towing without permits in most US states. It's self-righting to 130 degrees—a standout for a shallow-draft vessel—making it forgiving for families or solo sailors. Over a few dozen have likely been built from plans, appealing to DIY builders seeking a versatile weekender that tows like a large RV but sails like a mini-cruiser.
