[quote=lvaught]MN3- The Kerr Lake I'm referencing is in North Carolina and Virginia..
To clarify my criteria:
- 'fast' : i would say a Portsmouth number lower than 74 (my SC17 is fast enough with 1 person, but with 2 adults it sits lower in the water)
- 'easy to sail' - you can dig the hull into a wave and not worry about pitchpoling, roller furler jib, rudders that will kick-up if run aground, rudders easy to lower, mast rotation adjustments not critical, can sail well without dagger-boards (I will occasionally sail the sound on the outerbanks), raise and lower sails without assistance, tacks quickly, stable when flying a hull. I like the boom-less rig of the SC17, but I recognize this is not a common approach.. Boat
-'Rugged' - a better description might be "not fragile". I don't want to overly pamper the boat. I want to be able to run the boat up on the beach, bumping into logs, dock, trees without worrying about cracking thin hull skins. I don't want fragile rudders, I oftentimes run my boat up to shore and have the lake-bottom kick up the rudders. Don't want a thin hull such that when I crash into the hull coming off the trapeze I won't crash thru the hull.
For instance, how does the F18 Scorpion by Exploder fit the criteria (just noticed one for sale in classified)...Is this a fragile/complicated platform to sail?<!-- editby --><em>Edited by lvaught on Sep 21, 2020 - 07:44 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
