Default Capri 16.5 vs. Flying Scot

wrote...

Looking for a boat. Have a 2 & 4 year old and a wife. I have some
experience with a Hobie & Sunfish. I have the ASA BKB and BCC
certificates.

I live a mile from Kentucky Lake and can keep the boat at the water on
a trailer with the mast up. Will only go out for a few hours at a
time. I will sail by myself often.

Something I think I would like to do is take the boat to Florida west
coast around Sanibel and visit small islands for shells, picnic, etc.

Any thoughts are really appreciated.


I am not familiar with the Capri.

I have sailed the Flying Scott a few times, and it was on my short list for
my last sailboat. I decided on a SeaPearl 21 instead. Easier to rig, easy
to single-hand, and built for shallow water.

Check it out at www.marine-concepts.com and/or the SeaPearl group on yahoo
groups (http://groups.yahoo.com).
