Greg,
There was a time when I could have answered this question without hesitation and the answer would have been an A class.

This was before I sailed an off the beach cat with a spinnaker.

Now my wish list has grown to 3 boats and the A class no long makes the list.

Now of the 3 boats the first boat on my list is a light weight 16ft cat with a spinnaker that I would primarily sail by myself but could sail with my childeren from time to time.
Sailing one up with a kite is such a high and I get a great deal of pleasure out of sailing with my kids.

The other two would be a lightweight 20ft boat for 2 up distance racing that is trailable without tilting. This boat would have fold up carbon wings.

The 3rd would be a lightweight (under 700kg) 28ft Bay Racer with sleeping for 4 adults that could also be used for coastal sailing but comes home with me on a trailer and is rigged in under 2hours.
I don't want the maintenance or the worry of a boat on a mooring.

If I had all 3 then my wish list would be complete.

Regards,
Phill

I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.
There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!
