I finished my S10N a year ago and just finished the sailing rig this spring. I find I can row it with 3 adults and sail it with 2 (tight squeeze because of the center bulkhead), but 95% of the time I'm alone or with 2 dogs. Because it's a nesting version, I can move it around, put it in the car, launch, etc by myself. I also can store it inside the cockpit of my bigger boat. I found the 10' to be ideal for what I do.
