Guess I was not real clear. Looking for more of a performance boat for up to two people for the cottage. It doe snot need to be a dry boat. Is something live a Force 5 too small? I really would like to get something with multiple rigging configs. Not sure if that is a reality or not. As you...

Thanks! Looks like I really need to visit some fleets in my area. I am looking for a boat that can handle myself ( 6' 1" 225) and my wife (can't say but over lbs under 150) or myself and young teen son (120) with multiple rigging options (jib and/or spinnaker). Not necessarily a "dry" boat either.

Now I am getting dangerous! How does the 420/V15 compare to a Tasar? The Laser is now out of the picture as I understand it is really a one person boat. Again, I really appreciate all the input.

thanks again for the input! David, The wife and kid would qualify as novice at best. Appears that I may need 2 boats. 1 for me and 1 for the family.

David,What about the Vanguard 15?

found it...vanguard....

David, Thanks for the tip. Transport is not a real big issue as I would keep it at my lake house. I'll look into a 420. By the way, who is the manufacturer? I have sailed a sunfish quite extensively as well as windsurfed (if that makes any diff)

OK. I am also looking at a Laser. The posts here are great! If I am looking to sail with my wife or young teen in a large inland lake in Michigan to begin (then out to the Great Lakes), it appears that the Laser 2 makes more sense. If there are other types or boats that you can/would recommed...
