[quote=jimbojames]Hi Thanks!
Would be looking at coastal caribbean island. Mostly sailing on the sheltered sides, but would be good to be able to explore.
Im 30's, male and reasonably fit.
So F-16/Hobie16 type boat?

many people (myself) rig a low drag mesh somehow, or a permanent front tramp of some type[/quote]
Ok thats good to know, so only some boats would come with front tramps as standard but with a bit of ingenuity they can be rigged up as needed?
Jib could be taken down to allow for said front tramps and passengers? And that could be then reversed for solo sailing/racing?
[quote]boomless is GREAT for crew and skipper's noggin
the feeling of hitting a boom is never fun and can be dangerous - bootless is a great option[/quote]
Ok thank, thats good to know! I have only ever sailed with a boom so ill have to get some practice without!
I do enjoy carving into the wind when the boat tips to the side though, that wouldnt make a huge differene boomless you think?[/quote]
