If you're leaving it on a mooring all summer, you may want something somewhat substantial, so you don't have to worry about it capsizing on the mooring in some shifty lake breeze. A Rhodes 19 or Oday Daysailor would be tough enough to leave out for extended periods without needing a lot of upkeep. Depending upon how deep the lake is you might want to go with a centerboard version if one's available. They don't have to cost a lot, and you may be able to arrange a tarp/tent over the boom and go weekending (if you take plenty of DEET). I would second rbh1515's position on the FS. The ones I've sailed on were set up with gear that purposely made it difficult to set the sails properly, in order to make them all "the same". The reverse sheer on the FS does not compare well with most other boats either.
