And I do mean newbie !! Hello to all. I recently inherited a 16'' Guppy. I am very interested in learning how to sail. However, I think I need to learn a little about the boat I will be sailing. I am having a hard time finding specifics on the 16'' foot Guppy, I find references to the 13'' foot Guppy, but not the 16''. Any information will be appreciated very much. I live on the Southwest Coast of Oregon and I am an experienced power boater, so I am familiar with and comfortable on the water. No shortage of wind here. I haven''t had the Guppy out on the water, so far, according to the information I have been able to retrieve, the Guppy is a pretty stable boat, with at least 100 lbs of balast in the bow??? I haven''t been this excited about boating since I purchased my first power boat 20 years ago. Thanks in advance.
