Strictly Daysail

[TN Kelly]

If you were wanting a daysailer, would you choose the CS 17 (Ballasted) or the CS 20?

 

I live 3 minutes from a boat ramp.  I sail in Tennessee on one of the lakes created by a Dam.

 

I will usually be by myself, but sometimes will have wife or friends....but usually alone.

 

 

 

Someone once said that you should always go with the bigger one.  As a novice sailer which size would be suitable?  Thinking about the MKIII really really hard.  I am planning on going to the Festival in Washington NC to look at these boats in person.

 

I have a little outboard I would mount inside the MKIII instead of Transom mounted.  I feel that I would use this boat more?  Then I start worrying about it being too big for single handling.  Too much work for a quick trip to the lake for an afternoon sail. Gah!!!

 

 

The continuous circle that the inexperienced get stuck in.

 

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Peace and Respect

When in doubt, go to the source.  Your trip to the Washington festival will be a prime time to explore all the nuances with Graham.  he's always been very helpful.

Lapwing.  Classiest looking of the B&B line and strictly a day sailor.  Some day I will build one, and because I want a strictly daysailor when I get to that point.
