Calling all skippers with Pearson 323 or Sea Sprite who'd like to take me for a ride. From MA to Chesapeake.

Hi all, I have a lead on what looks to be a possible contender for my cruiser/live aboard. This is happening a year too early but..... ----Well equipped, Pearson 1981 323 Sloop - only problem is she's in Dominican Republic. So I'd love to sail one soon closer to home. Though I find I'm very intrigued about a fractional rig with a tiller, I haven't had much luck finding one of those. The Sea Sprite, another make I also have never sailed, is also inviting - has the fractional rig but not the tiller. The Columbia 8.7 sails great with a tiller but masthead rigging... I love the B&R rigging on the Hunters but don't really like the Hunter hull as an option. I had a Hunter 33, that was fun but the make just isn't sexy enough (for me) anymore, tends to heel too much with terrible weather helm.
A well balanced helm is super important to me and how the boat moves through the water at 15 to 20 to 25.
