A bit long and a bit heavy (but easy enough to pull up a slip with a break back trailer) fills alll the trest of the brief perfectly - Devon yawl

Or smaller but very good on a mooring, the Yachting World Dayboat.

There is of course a local boat built by Claridge. The Lymington Pram.
Lovely cruising boat and I slept out in an old clinker one many times.
Plenty of room and stable for a family.

But do they offer much more? The Topper Cruz was the same hull with a ketch rig, which was novel!

I guess the Cruz was a sort of modern day interpretation of the Drascombes. Load em up with the wife, kids, Fido and a picnic and go explore up the creeks. Outboard to get you back when the wind fails.

I can see the appeal.(My tastes are obviously changing as I get older)

I sailed on on Bristol docks 20 years ago. Wasn't too bad so long as you didn't expect racing Dinghy performance. I'd be tempted by one now - like The Moo, I'm finding different things appealing these days.
