G'day thought I would share my change of heart our annual sail training is in its second week we have 3 kids plus an instructor in each 420 and it doesn't matter the weather the kids somedays are out in 20 knots in the afternoon and they are still learning, the older kids on the cat are just hanging on while the instructor does the work. So my new thoughts are encourage the kids into the monos to learn how to sail and then when the excitement starts to fade swing them onto the cats. If theyre still excited on the monos I would now leave them there as they are still sailing. My kids have been the only 420 out each saturday now 3 parents say they are looking for a boat for them and their kids to come out on a Saturday, so we'll see what happens. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Just my thoughts
