check the used boats aroud your area for a used alcort sunbird
i had one for 6 years and it's perfect for 4 people and has a cuddy forward
with just enough space to lie down in in case you want to try some cruising
round bu fairly flat bottom and
nice large main small jib
very easy to singlehand too and main comes with jiffyreefing
in heavy air you can reef main and sail with just that.
also you can reef the main and let the kids take it out by themselves in
light air.
run amf sunbird on google fo an idea what this looks like
