Hi to everyone, good to be back. I wanted to thank everyone for the time and help you give to this forum. Plans are going more slowly than I had hoped, but I did buy a
boat 5 years ago and have learned to sail!

It is only an 18 ft Windrose but it is a little small for the lake I am living on now, as it regularly gets 20 to 25 mph gusts out of nowhere. It is teaching me a bit about how to deal with unexpected issues which is a good thing.
I am looking for another
boat in the 24 to 28 ft range and would like to know if there are any I should really stay away from. It needs to sleep 2 and be easily single-handed.
Thanks,
Jeff
