They make wheel kits for Sunfish/Lasers that substitute for a trailer, but you're still towing an object. And the boats are kind of heavy (120-140 lbs) for today's car/SUV rooftops, unless you have a pickup with a cap and commercial-strength racks, or full-size SUV (like Suburban) and some strong helpers to hoist it up there.

Decades ago sunfish/sailfish rentals were common, but I think high breakage rates and lack of skill/interest killed that market. As a small boat sailor myself, I sympathize.

Idiotinakayak, send me a PM.

To the question of cottage + sailboat, a neighbor might have the answer for August-on!
