Had some fun with kids in the last few weeks
I did the Goolwa to Milang with my 9yo and 11yo daughters on the wire me hiking, had their first pitchpole put a hole in the jib and the main, broke tiller extention and sail battens once they got over the shock they loved it and got back out once we were off again.
I went up near Morgan on a big lagoon off the Murray river with the same kids, Brett from Glasscraft was there and let us try his new "Bic Open" its only about 8ft long with a windsurfer sail and open transom. My 9yo hopped on and had no trouble righting it when she went over. My 11yo didnt go over. I went on it even though its maximum crew weight is 90kg at 105kg I had a lot of balance issues but what a hoot in 25 knotts it was indistructible. If you get a chance check one out because my daughters said it had "bling" and it was exciting they desperately want one.
