Won't happen with my kids, at least if any of my genes transfered through. I'm one of the few that is actually more coordinated while inebriated. They don't have a chance at anything that requires catching or throwing.


Why not hand the tiller over to the kids on a full sized beach cat. Most probably can't handle the main sheet too well, but that's easy enough for a crew/dad to handle. I think it would probably take some serious patience but its a heck of alot cheaper than building, buying, storing, and transporting a second boat. Plus it would give you a chance to really coach the kid, vs sending it out to gets its butt kicked.

or, am I way off in left field? I don't have kids, so I am actually shooting in the dark here.
