And where are those sailors now? I've seen a whopping 1 Tornado in the Southeast. Granted, I haven't been to Miami where the regatta is held, so that is some bias.

I have no problem putting a boat on a tilt trailer. Taking the tramp off every time adds ~30-45 minutes to the setup and is frankly a pita, but not a necessary step if the trailer is designed properly. I think the downside is really in the additional cost of the trailer compared with a normal trailer, but if you can afford this boat you can afford the trailer.
