My goodness, we have some nutty brethren.

TB-

Don't believe either of those were a production boat.

That second guy looks a lot like TB... I am getting concerned. TB, if that was you, is that the two head model? And did you use an umbrella for a bimini?

I have the utmost respect for those guys, but IMO those are survival capsules that have some limited wind driven mobility, not really sailboats. I like really small boats and I have a small spot to park, but if you go look at my other two threads on buying, I ended up going with a 17' boat (but I have a big family and need passenger room sometimes, so a big cockpit was crucial). Are you trying to park in a garage? You can get a folding or removable tongue, but you still have the mast to contend with.

What about the Guppy 13?

Or the Sparrow 12?

Awesomest boat ever. I learned to sail on the S/V Jaundice over the summer of 2007, and found it to be stable, fun, and easy for a beginner to handle. Performance into the wind is pretty horrible, but the 150 lb keel kept it upright and sailing in 20 kt winds and 3 foot seas. Plus it's the same color yellow as its namesake, which makes for some great comments from fellow boaters.
I can't post actual links, but pictures of the mighty vessel can be found through the website saveitforparts dot com, by clicking on the link that says 'projects'.

I've had larger bowel movements, personally. Probably more buoyant, as well, but that's perhaps too much information.

You sound like Curly, of City Slickers fame. "I crap bigger than you!" . .
