I'm looking at the Xcite, Bravo or Escape to have around to teach my daughters how to sail and to play with myself. The girls are 14 and 11.The best feature of the Xcite is the ACP hull. But, it's kind of small and doesn't have a roller furling main.I really like the idea of a roller furling main to adapt to any wind situation on the fly and for easy stowing at the end of the day. The Escapes (Mango & Rhumba) and Hobie Bravo have it. But both of these boats have roto-molded polyethylene hulls. Which is fine, but just can't compare to ACP.Unfortunately (for Hunter) I'd put the Xcite at the bottom of my list right now.Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
