Reply to: Sailing with (young) kids on a Nacra?

Message body

[quote=thebeardedone]Thanks, all! Great points, all around. As soon as my kid could walk, I got him in a lifejacket and taught him to float and took him on a few short sail rides, so I totally agree that the points above about attitude/skill/boat-size are all spot on.

To be clear, I don't plan on it *primarily* being a cruiser--just the opposite, in fact. :lol:  But I am interested in depowering on a calm day or two and taking crew out who are just there for the ride. And thankfully the lake nearby is really very mild, so a good "training wheels" area.

I've kept my eyes open for H18s and lots of other options. At this point, I'm leaning towards working with the good deal I have, take some time to master the boat, and then reevaluate my passenger options. I didn't have a boat all last summer, so at this point I kinda want to take what looks like a great opportunity and get out there!<em>Edited by thebeardedone on Mar 17, 2016 - 11:22 PM.</em> [/quote]
