Hi. My old Sunfish died last winter -- the transom has been patched
one time too many, finally fell off completely, so I am looking for a
new boat to replace it. I can get another Sunfish easily enough, but
I'd like to consider other options. The ones I have found are the
Vanguard Pico Plus, and the Esacpe Rumba / Escape 12. Anybody out
there have any experience with these, any other small sailboat (besides
the Sunfish) that I should look at?

I am a 230 lb, middle aged, not-so-athletic-anymore guy, with wife and
7 year old kid. It'd be nice to get us all on the boat, maybe,
sometimes. Usually it's just me and the kid. We live on Cape Cod
(windy), usually sail in ponds or harbors.

Any advice at all would be appreciated. Thanks.
