Will you be spending extended periods (weeks etc) aboard? How big is your family? One way is to go modest with a trailerable sailboat. Mine can hold two adults & two children, has a Marine Sanitation Device with pumpout fittings. see: http://sailquest.com/market/models/spipe.htm The Sandpiper 565... or Capri 18 (Catalina 18) would be fine for smaller crews. |

If he looks around on that site I quoted, he can probably find at least half a dozen reasonable choices... although some models might be more available in Canada. |

You might want to move to Atlanta. |

I never understood the appeal of sailboats on little lakes. Your either
going to be motoring around 2/3rds the time or tacking 80% of the time. "etol" wrote in message oups.com... How do you determine the maximum size of a sailboat for a lake? Our lake is 19.6 miles in length, max depth is 183' and max width is 1.9miles. |
