Thanks in advance for your valued opinions.

I'd look at the Wayfarer. 16', designed to teach Royal Navy cadets how
to sail on the Solent, where the wind does blow. I cut my teeth on an
early wooden variant in the 60's. A great boat. Some owners kit them
out to sail/camp on them. I think Abbott in Sarnia, Ontario was the last
to produce them in fibreglass. I may be wrong about that...someone else
may have the license now...check it out.
