[quote=ymcaclimb]Look at the Hobie Wave. Good beginner's boat, absolutely fine for you and your son.
I have a Getaway. I assume your son is small? Great boat, but if you're not an experienced sailor, it's a bit of a handful to sail solo. And hard to right if you capsize unless you're pretty big. I'm over 95 kg, and it's hard for me to right it solo.
Now if your son is a teenager, and can help sail (ie, manage the jib at first), then the Getaway should be fine.
As far as building a boat, have you built one before? And how much sailing experience do you have?[/quote]
