Andrew,(Post has been edited from the original, because I displayed poor judgment and zero discretion in a post about discretion; please forgive me; it been a rough week and I took it out on Andrew, Sorry Andrew)

I have owned both boats, you could even say all three, 6.0NA, 6.0NA with spin, & N20. I have raced and sailed with kids in each of the above listed three.

Let me please try to clarify a little bit: If sailing with kids you need to pick your conditions, as in the lets just say that during an auto gybe the boom hits you in the head; it is bad regardless of the platform that you are sailing, be it a N20, TheMightyHobie18 or a Thistle or a J22 or Baltic 42. I have both of my own kids explain to their friends that are about to go for a ride, that the boom, this hear metal thingy, is the same noise “boom” they will remember hearing as they wake up I the hospital, if they wake up. That usually gets there attention. This is usually followed up with if you fall off we will come back for you, probably.

When kids are involved DISCREATION IS WARRANTED. Have you ever shown up to go sailing and/or racing and there was zero wind AND a thunderhead in the area and its getting closer?

Even on a 79' lead hauler discretion is warranted. . . .

BTW the N20 is the most forgivivg boat I have raced or day sailed.
