Argo vs Quest?

We will sail on lakes only(decent size, say 6000 acres)up in Maine.

   Hi,I've used the Topper Argo (I'm assuming same dinghy as in UK) for teaching RYA levels 1 to 3.
Stable dinghy with main & jib, but interesting with the big genniker.
You might want to invest in a reduced area mainsail, instead if reefing.

We had a problem with the floor in one of the boats - later versions have foam blocks between the hull & floor to prevent the floor from flexing and cracking. Remember that these were used for teaching, and had a harder life than most dinghies!

Enjoy tge experience,

Colin

	We will sail on lakes only(decent size, say 6000 acres)up in Maine. Reminds me of a day trip I did decades ago on Moosehead Lake, which was fantastic. In a outboard powered dinghy sadly, but the lake seemed to go on forever, endless forests and hardly any sign of human life, and endless islands - Swallows and Amazons territory on steroids. Fab.

	Sounds like heaven to me. I love to read. Too bad it's so far away from where I am at the moment. I have an Argo btw and I love it. Edited by Sours - 31 Jul 25 at 11:16am

	Hey, That's great news! I thought I'd take this opportunity to plug my facebook page. I started an Argo Owners page. I couldn't find anything similar, so I'm hopeful some folks find it. As of now, nobody's found me . . . ; ( This should be a link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1612829512115234/ There's no ads or strings attached. I just would like to hook up with some owners as I'm all alone with this boat and I'm sure I'll have Qs this spring. Thanks! TomJV
