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?

A very popular open dinghy up here is the CL16...originally a copy of the
Wayfarer.
I had the smaller CL 14... but would go for the larger 16 if I bought
another small sailboat.
Lots of 2nd hand copies for sale in central Canada.

Get a scow. No centerboard trunk to interfere with stowage of the
coolers. An M-16 would do the job. With twin rudders you can get up on
the high side and still reach the tiller.
