Exitement!!!
This got delivered yesterday! This is a promo pic, of course, not mine.
It's small but fast and fun. I still want a 16 someday but I think this was the right choice for our bay. It's super easy for my wife to learn on but yet it can still go 15 knots or more if you feel crazy. It has no center or dagger boards so it only needs 9 inches of water (important for the very large shallow area we launch from.) It's hull is a tough polymer so we can just sail it right up to the beach and most importantly, it has beer holders.
Another neat feature is that the mast rotates in order to super easily reef in the sail so that you can make it more manageable in stronger winds. This will be a nice feature to build up my wife's confidence as she learns to sail it herself.
