[quote=breaqnaway]Thanks for all the great input. I’ll certainly not rule out a hobby 16. To give a little more input:
-We sail on a pretty large lake (Canyon Ferry 30 miles x 5 miles) and will leave the boat on mixed sandy & rocky beach which it will be launched from.
-Likely 75% solo sailing and 25% 2 up. My solo weight is 190lbs and crew weight will range from 70lbs-200lbs. No racing, but it will likely be used daily in the summer months. Something fun to do with the kids and friends, but also alone when it’s time to decompress and blast across the lake.
-Local sailors are mostly ‘older’ adults on keel boats that cruise under both sail and motor. Budget is pretty flexible, really, really not looking for a project boat.
Hope that helps a little.[/quote]
