When all 5 kids were at home, we had a 19 ft daysailor. 1 left for college
and we bought the 22"...then 2 more left and we bought the 27'...when they
all left we bought the 32'....now my granddaughter's consider the boat their
own private playhouse...the YC is talking about weekend sailing lessons this
year, so we're hoping to get the older into a Butterfly and the younger into
an Opti...they're both pretty good crew (they tend to fall in on purpose,
though, when on the mooring...)

Also, before you buy a big boat, take into consideration the fact
that your
kids will be gone in a few years. You will have to park it with
only your
wife as crew. I'd love to buy a Malo 42, but I don't think that
my
diminutive spouse would be able to hold the lines while we tied
up.


So let her drive!


Awk, she can't even back a car out of a driveway.
