[quote=saabflyer]andrew,
Again, thanks. I'll opt for 1 7/8 and not be too surprised if I happen to run into a 2.
Your story reminded me of the time I busted a shroud in the Gulf of Mexico. Boy, that sucked. Luckily neither my buddy nor I were hurt, but he was in the trap and was practically catapulted when the mast blew over.
I'm homing in on a few 16s within a few hours of my house. I've got an 82 advertised for $2000, an 84 for $2100 an 81 for $1,200 and a 79 (with tons of extras, including a spinnaker, trap harnesses and cat trax) for $1,500.
According to their owners, none of them have stress cracks or soft spots. I'm kind of leery of the '79, but it might be the best way to just get a decent boat to sail with my kids for a couple years before stepping up to a newer 16 or an 18.
Again, thanks for taking the time to help out.
