Hello from Dutchess County New York

[Reills]

I grew up sailing Dad's boats (Cape Dory 25, Ericson 27, and Morgan 384) on Long Island Sound and the Eastern Seaboard from VA to ME. Now I am the Dad and want my two daughters to love the water as much as I.

A few years back they became able swimmers, so I felt I could by a boat and came home with an O'Day 17, little suspecting they would not like it. I've begun to win the 9-year old over, still working on the 12-year old. She finds the O'Day too tippy.

So, we're in the process of purchasing a Southern Cross 31 , hull #11 "Red Sky." THIS should be a little less tippy and it's a whole lot easier to go for a cruise. We're members of the Poughkeepsie Yacht Club on the Hudson, but am 1 hour 15 minutes by car from Norwalk, CT on Long Island Sound. Plenty of choices to gunk hole.
