I spent my day Sailing...
Edited on Sat May-24-08 07:15 PM by jasonc
I demo-ed a Sailboat today and I have to say, I think I am impressed enough to buy one.

I demo-ed the non keel version even though I want the keel version.

It was a BLAST, it was a beautiful day to be on the water with my beautiful Fiance and we had so much fun! She also looked HOT in her bikini... Although it wasn't warm enough most of the day for her to remove the clothes she had covering it... :(

:P

1. Daysailers are a lot of fun
but I would probably go with an ABS design over fiberglass. Hunter makes several ranging from 14 to 21 feet.

3. It's a thermoplastic
Very durable and lightweight. Daysailers especially get a lot of abuse, constantly taking them in and out of the water, etc.

For example, Hunter's line of daysailers:
