It looks to me like your best bet is a Prindle 19. The 8.5' beam allows you to easily trailer it without standing it on its' ear. You should be able to get an older model which will satisfy your boat rejuvenation hobby. In addition, you can purchase the new MX sails and the new rudders with the money from the sale of your older boat. They greatly improve the performance of this boat. You'll notice that the Portsmith numbers are fairly close to that of the older style of Tornado with one trap and no spinnaker. You won't be sorry.
