If I had to choose one over the other, I do not know which it would be.

No doubt in my mind.
Trouble is, a minimal crew is needed for any kind of a sailboat.

Two things. The inland areas of the country are dotted with lakes with
absolutely nowhere to go but fishing spots. Ever hear of water skiing?

As for crew, ever hear of a Sunfish? Or a Laser? My father never had
a crew for the Iowa schooner, even in winds that were too heavy for
the scows or sunfish.
