[quote=Quarath]You might consider a couple boats. Get a Hobie 14 or 16 for your son to solo and and something like the getaway for those camping trips and for dad to sail solo while the son sails the 14/16.
I would love to get a smaller boat for my oldest to sail on his own when we go as he seems to be pretty interested in it. I'd let him sail my P(rindle)18 by himself but I don't think he could right it. That's something I need to work on is getting setup with righting bag and such for others to use on my boat.
A lot of bigger boats can still be solo rigged with additional equipment (gin pole setup) to help raise the mast.[/quote]
