I just put together that you are the (a?) host of this site - thanks for taking the time to answer my previous request for information.

After giving it some thought, I'm going to pursue an '87 Prindle 18 and, if that doesn't work out, a Hobie 18 I found on thebeachcats. I read a bit more, and while the wave looks like a very rugged boat, the Portsmouth Yardstick also makes it appear that it's very pokey. I said wasn't worried about speed too much, but I would like something that does do a little better :-)

Although I'm looking at boats that are "ready to sail", I'm sure I'll be needing stuff, and I'll hit the store here.

Thanks - this forum is a great resource.
