Default An addition to the fleet

Just bought my 12 yr old a used kayak for Christmas. So, this makes:

2 MiniCup sailboats
Homebuilt 2-paw dinghy
Inflatable Sevylor kayak
18' Grumman Canoe
Mistral sailboard
28' S2 sailboat
20' Tolman Skiff
12' Emotion kayak

9 Boats, am I an admiral now?

No, but your 12 yr old is close. You need one of these:

My 12 yr old is a girl so those dont really interest her but thanks
anyway.
This is my little daughter who after doing lots of canoeing with me
noticed that the clear spring waters were all clogged with hydrilla
weed whereas the dark tannin stained waters were not. She wondered if
the Tannin was killing the hydrilla. She did a science fair project
on this and I thought it would show nothing but instead the results
were dramatic. Tannin REALLY DOES kill hydrilla. So, we called the
State of FL Dept of Env. Prot. and told someone about her results and
were told "We were thinking of trying to get some funding to study
effects of Tannin on Hydrilla but it never came through".

Any of them run properly and capable of passing a safety inspection?

Which S2 do you have?

The S2 is the 8.5 meter shoal draft. The S2 and Tolman were safety
inspected last year and passed easily.
