This Spring (1999) my neighbour Dave Murphy invided me to crew for him on his ideal 18 one design. There is a substantial little fleet sailing out of the Genesse river, Rochester, NY. Most are found at the Rochester Yacht Club or Shumway Marine.
These little keel boats are drysailed off the trailer, although a few R.Y. club-boats remain in the water.
Here are list of photo pages showing the sort of sailing we get up too.

Readying the boat for launching.
Pushing the boat over to the lift crane.
Up and over she goes!
In she goes!
Getting the mainsail setup and sorting the spinnaker halyards. That's Dave Murphy with the red cap.
And then tacking away from the dock, though the marina and out into the Gennesee River.
Tacking northish down the Gennesee River towards Lake Ontario.
