Why the Laser ?
Why not the Snipe ? The Lighting ? The Skiff ? What boats are the fastest ?
Although my son is only 7 (And a little young at thsi time; I am going to get him into Opti lessons this June. But ... I would love to race a boat WITH HIM (Doublehanded); any opinion for the type of boat for that ?
My thoughts exactly. We bought a used wooden Opti for the little one, and I am looking at a cheap second Laser for the teenager - we really only have a couple summers left before he's off to who knows where. Can't waste this opportunity.My goals are:
1. Get my butt back into sailing
2. Get my young son exposed to it
3. learn the art of racing
4. Perhaps my son and I develop another common bond that keeps us both active later in life
