Come on Ollie, Buy a 14 and come race the Nats next year.
The original question was about what was best for CatRcr and his sons. He already has a H16 he can race with the 9 year old. Throw the 14 on top and drive to the fleet 32's regattas and the other son can sail against at least 5 other H14's. The boat costs less and is easy to fix. If he was near PIB then the Wave would make sense. Our fleet kids love to take the Korz's Wave out to go swimming and jumping off and then get on the 16's to race and trapeze.
