Snipe Sailboats

We have two old snipe sailboats which are a huge pain and one of the masts is not good, fiberglass coming apart on another etc etc. I would like to piece together one good one out of both...haven't sailed in years but want to get back into it. I would like to buy something similar in size and sailing ability for one to two people...something easier to manipulate. Any ideas or suggestions?

CalebD will become famous soon enough
There is a boat called an O'Day Daysailor which is about 17' long - perhaps a tad bigger then a Snipe. Very simple to rig and there were a bunch of them made. Oday Daysailer II sailboat for sale
Almost any newer small sailboat should be easier to deal with. I sailed a Snipe several times back in the day, thought it was a kind of fun boat.

I went from a snipe to a Harbor 20. I LOVE my Harbor 20. It is a fun day sailor and simplicity epitomized.
