OK, so I went for a ride yesterday on a 28R (Thanks to Craig sailing Cliff's boat... great ride, great guys). It was SWEET.
Part of the reason for my interest in a tri is that my wife wants a more "family friendly" boat. We would be doing probably 50/50 cruising/racing.. sometimes on lake michigan and sometimes in the Panhandle of Fl. My question is whether there is a significant difference in the interior of the 31 vs the 28. I have seen the interior of the 28 obviously and I think it would work for 2 adults and 2 small children given that most of the time you spend in the ****/on deck, etc. Anyone think the difference in the 31 is worth the extra cost?
