Glad to here you made that choice.

Just something to keep in mind with little ones.

I had been taking my than 7 year old daughter out on our h16 in really light wind (because I was a newbie) I did this several times and never had a real problem or thought twice about it. Last year, (my second season), I was out solo in medium-light winds 8 to 10 MPH and got knocked off the boat. Yes the boat took off several yards (probably 40) and stopped. while I was swimming back to my boat, I started thinking, what if my daughter had been on the boat with me?

She probably would have been safe at first, but, what if... I know we can play the what if game all day so I wont do that now.

Even tho all of my kids are great swimmers and love the water, my new rule is, if they can not think and react, with, "What do I do now", there are 2 people that can handle the boat aboard.

every child learns different! I know I have 4 from ages 8 to 19.

Enjoy your new boat and keep safety first.
