Hello,
I am a new sailor currently taking lessons and I am considering the two boats (Precision 21 and O’day 192) that are for sale in my area.
My master plan to trailer to the 5 lakes I have available within 30 minutes of my home, one lake is a mile away. I would like to spend a couple/few years getting experience then spend time in the Apostle Islands and Door county Wisconsin. I like the concept of the combination Shoal Draft Keel and Centerboard.
The Oday is listed as $2200 cheaper, but feel it might be too small to spend any significant time on with the possibly of up to 2 adults and 2 kids. I might need to upgrade boats in a couple of years.
With the Precision I think it will be large enough to Camp, but not too large to Sail/trailer. But is it $2200 better? My family has experience sleeping in close quarters, since we do pop up camping, Canoe camping, and backpack camping.
Thanks for your time and your thoughts
