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.

Get a Catalina or O'Day 22...they are easy trailer boats, have a small
but useful cabin, and are nice to putt around in. With an auxiallary
9.9 sail outboard, you can go a lot of places to daysail and still have
the option of camping overnight.
