I have been sailing for about 24 years, Prindle 16, Prindle 19, Hobie 20, Formula 16 in that order. I don't go day sailing anymore because of the time to rig and derig. I only go for several days at a time and only to the ocean where the shore is not going to destroy my boat. The local fleet use to be very active years ago and we raced a lot, those days are gone now. I have a nearby lake but it is very rocky and to dangerous for my Formula 16 anyway.

I would like to sail more often and have been considering the Wave so that I can go to the lake for a day trip. I know I will be giving up performance sailing but I think I would rather get to sail more often than once or twice a year.

I would love to start racing again with the local Portsmouth fleet at the lake but they are all mono's like lasers.

Will I be sorry if I give up my go fast boat and get a Wave?

I am also getting a little older and less interested in all the work for the amount of excitement I get in return.

Any thoughts from others that have been in my shoes.

Best regards,
