I was thinking about getting something to sail on the small lake near the
property. It would need to be small enough that I deal with, yet big
enough to take two adults or me and two kids... when the Spring comes or
we get a stretch of decent weather...

I saw this ad ... don't know anything about Banshee sailboats, but it
seems pretty simple to operate. Comments/opinions? Is that a decent
price?

Banshees are/were nice little boats. I believe they are/were rated about
the same as the early Lasers. They might have even been rated a little
faster.

In the picture in the craigslist ad, she looks a little roomier than I
remember. If the wind gets over about 10-12 knots you should leave the
kids on the beach. But, over 12 it can be pretty fun alone.

That would be pretty rare.. wind over 10 mph. If it did happen it would just
be a mountain gust.
