Default Capri 16.5 vs. Flying Scot

Hi,

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.

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 had a Capri 13.2. It was impossible for one man to get back over if you
turtled it. This was a concern for me because I sail in very cold water. I
considered putting a Hobie float on top of the mast. The 16.5 may have a
similar problem
