Big boats suck. Small boats are where it's at. I borrowed this sunfish for the latter half of the summer to learn how to sail, and it's a fun little boat. It's especially nice in that I get to keep it on the lake, so it takes all of 5 minutes to get out on the water. That said, I'm starting to think about buying a boat so that I can travel to larger lakes than the oversized pond that I live on. I'm considering a Laser or a Sunfish, but I've also been taking a look at slightly larger boats with a bit more space and a defined seating area so that my wife and I can actually get comfortable and spend a few hours on the water. Are there any sailing goons who know of boats that might fit the bill?

Big Taint posted:I’d look for cheap Flying Juniors or 420s. Both are very popular 2-person boats for junior/college sailing and there are many thousands of them. They are pretty old hat so you can sometimes find people/clubs upgrading to newer stuff and get them very cheap. I got my FJ for $200 on eBay, and have spent <$1k replacing all the running rigging and some hardware and generally sprucing it up. That looks like a great size, I'll keep my eyes out.
