After looking at a few different boats on the web, this seems the best bet so

My current boat is 16ft and with engine weighs in at 660 kg, which I call
light. I had a look at the Lugger (or even the Dabber) and they might suit.
Are they sailable singlehandedly?

Had a look at that, but seems a bit too dinghyish for what I want - looking
for something with a better freeboard.....

Good deck space for fishing
to take an outboard
quick and easy to take mast up and down
Safe and stable.
easy to sail.

I have only come across two contenders, the Texas 380, which is a little
too small, and the Ocqueteau Tipalia 6.50 Sail Boat, which is a bit big and
heavy for single-handed launch and hasn't too much deck space for the
size. Any other suggestions? I normally don't go any further out than
about 10 miles, though usually fairly quickly with a 60HP Merc on the
back of my current cuddy fisher... I expect I'd be doing it slower.....much
slower!

the Sou'wester 18 looks a possibility:

Anyone know of any similar boats?
