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.
