[quote=oerterch]Jdhuggar,
I live on a lake that is just a little bigger than the one you describe 1 mi x .5 mi and had to deal with the same question. While trying to make a decision I found a used Bravo locally that needed some work and decided to pick it up just to have something. After having this boat for a while I can say this:
It all depends on how you want to sail, I like when it really starts to blow hard, yea the bravo is not performance, but it crosses the lake in no time. I was considering a Nacra 450, no dagger boards, but after sailing in the Bravo, the Nacra would be way to much of a boat for that lake. Just about get up to speed and have to tack.
Now I'm back to looking at a Wave, and I think that's the biggest the lake will handle.
If you like to go out in light air and just take it mellow, than a 16 might work for you. Either way you go, I wouldn't recommend a boat with daggerboards or without kick-up rudders.
