What boat?

   I son't know, I remember going out in my dad's boat 

when I was a toddler. Can't remember what boat it 

was, some sort of wayfareresque day boat of some 

sort...  I've also got a '2 and a bit' year old sister, and 

even though she's a serious handful, I think she'd 

quite enjoy it. Soon as she's properly potty-trained 

she's going straight into an Oppie!!

	Wayfarer. Ent is not big enough for your needs, does not have a spinnaker and in my opinion is not stable enough to take a toddler sailing. To be honest, while I don't believe in wrapping kids in cotton wool, I'm not sure any dinghy is a place for a toddler.

	well i think a wayfarer provides alot fo room and is very stable so would be good with a todler in tow, however you will also want to take into consideration the type of fleet present in poole harbour in case you want to race or just for advice. the enterprise is a good 2 man cruising boat but you would be at a push to fit an extra adult in i reckon, i would go with the wayfarer personally fomr what seem to be describing
	byte me!- GBR 814

	Hi, I need some advice. I have reasonable dinghy experience but not loads. I am after a dinghy that I can sail with my wife who is a novice and with a toddler as well. It would be nice to also be able to take an additional adult on occassions. I am basically looking for something for cruising around poole harbour, but would like a spinnaker. I am thinking wayfarer, enterprise etc - what are your views? Thanks
