I just moved from California to Florida and living across the street from the Gulf of Mex now. We gave up the Prindle 16 in California and also have 2 toddlers now so our sailing time and options are kind of limited for the next few years. I have been kicking around a few ideas and just wanted to get some opinions.
I have been trying to find something that I could walk (or dolly) down the street to the beach, quickly rig and get some sailing in while my wife and kids hang out on the beach. It would have to be relatively lightweight, quick and easy to rig solo and get going. I just don't have to the time to spend driving and rigging anything else right now.
I was thinking a Laser? but I think that might be too big and cumbersome to dolly down and across a busy street? I've also thought about a sailboard or windsurfing? I don't have any experience with windsurfing as of yet.... but it does look fun! Let me know what you guys think! I am OPEN to ideas!!
I'm a surfer at heart but the gulf is FLAT FLAT FLAT and I'm itching to get on the water and sail (the next best thing to surfing) Thanks!
