This is an open question for thoughts and opinions as to boats. I previously had a Prindle 18 for about 12 years. Recently I've considered getting another boat and have been looking at the 580 and N20. I've never sailed a boat with a spin, and wonder is there much to it, and I'm concerned about the postings of snapping the mast and or pole if not sailed properly. I live on the west coast of Florida, and have concerns of the shallow waters in close. Would it be smarter to go with the dagger boards of the 580 rather than the boards of the N20?
Thanks for your thoughts.
