[quote=jonathan162]Perfectly reasonable suggestion, one of those little styrofoam Snarks or Sunflowers - I excavated and resurrected a Sunflower (that my wife had as a kid) from beneath the cottage after it had been forgotten there for decades. Amazed to find they're still supported:

The craigslist one mentioned above would be a fine candidate for an econo resto - just about any decent sailing shop has a pile of junk spars (five or ten bucks for a mast and boom), you can buy a new sail from Castle Craft or a used one online - or just stitch one up yourself. Then you just need a daggerboard and rudder - a little woodworking and spar varnish. But honestly, you should be able to find one fully-equipped for a hundred or two. Even on that tiny lake you'll get an idea whether you're interested, and if it sticks, you can move up to a "real" sailboat like a Laser and graduate to larger water.[/quote]
