Wow, thanks to all the good folks on both the Mercedes and Vanagon
listservs for the great info!  Sounds like both the 300TD and Vanagon
should be able to tow a small daysailer (sub-23'), at least for short
distances), which is what I needed to know.  I got some initial and
subsequent negative feedback on the MacGregor boats, so does anyone
have some specific suggestions for a small daysailer?  Must be able to
sleep four (2 adults 2 kids), preferably with a small head and still
be light, maneuverable and trailerable.
