Hi Folks, as the title states I am thinking about getting a Sunfish to return to sailing. I learned the very basics of sailing when I was in Boyscouts sailing a JY-15 and had always wanted to get into it as a hobby (I grew up on Lake Sidney Lanier in Georgia). Now that I have young children, I want to get a small boat to take them putting around.
I've never sailed a Sunfish or seen one up close but I can tell that it would be a great fit with my lifestyle. I live in Kentucky and Cave Run Lake has a vibrant sailing community but would also trailer a boat to Lake Lanier and Destin, FL. At this point, I'm leaning towards just getting a new boat that I can take care of and maintain. Relatively speaking, they aren't that expensive and it seems like most used boats end up being a resto-project (my house is a resto-project so not in the market for any others).
I'd like to hear some feedback on my approach thus far or if there are some more things I should consider or be thinking about.
Thanks in advance!
