Greetings,
Long time reader, first time post-er. I'm looking to get a small boat along the lines of a Laser for recreational sailing. I like getting out on the water early in the morning or at sunset just to putt around the Long Island Sound where I am. Would the Laser be a good recreational boat? I'm definitely not going to race, but I'd like something I could occasionally crank up.. I don't want something that is going to be dumping me all the time and I certainly don't want to have to be hiking way out the whole time.
What do you guys think? You all seem to know this boat better than anyone. I'm pretty good at sailing big boats and I'm sure I could adjust to something small. I just want something that will be relatively comfortable. It'd also be nice to be able to take someone else out on it as well once in a while. Oh, I should also mention that it needs to be cartoppable.
Thanks for all the help, maybe I'm chasing after a boat that doesn't exist.
Alex
