I am now looking at a sailing dingy for them to learn on...any suggestions?
I think that waiting until about 5 would be best for them to skipper, and start with an optimist, when they get to about 7-8, move to a sunfish, and 11-14 get them a hobie 14 turbo, then let them start making their decisions about what to do with it, how to afford their next upgrade...
