Hello. I'm brand new to the forum. I've been sailing a Laser on an inland lake and am looking for something slightly larger so my family can join me and have a true seat. I've pretty well narrowed my search down to a specific Catalina 14.2 and a Flying Scot. I was leaning towards the Scot, but pictures show the Catalina cockpit going nearly to the transom while the Scot is primarily mid-boat. So, I'm not sure the larger Scot really gains much personnel capacity? Any insight is appreciated! FWIW, the two specific boats are similar in price. The Catalina is newer and with less weather wear, but both are fully functional.
