I did mention it, however, she seemed extremely under-whelmed, " They're the ones that always fall to bits aren't they daddy ?"...........so young, yet so wise  Nigel |

On that thought. I bought my 6 year old a brand new Contender.
Shame I will have to use it until she is ready for it..... |

How refreshing to see you all singing from the same hymn-book.......surely one of you could have said something controversial ! On a more serious note, yes, I think that that we ought to try to get her a Bug, we've already spoken with the guys at Laser and there will be some ex-demo boats becoming available,
Many thanks, Nigel |

Yes, go for it. Don't feel you have to buy her an Oppy.
I bought my daughter an O'pen Bic and she much prefers it to the old- fashioned Oppies she was forced to sail before. Phil |

So, she's tested the alternatives*, thoroughly tested this one, and made it clear which one she gets the most out of? If we're assuming that you're going to get her a boat anyway, why even question? Seems pretty obvious from that grin.
*only other option in that bracket would be the O'Pen Bic? |

I'd say go get her one, as has been said, you will loose money but if you don't mind that v's her having fun, then I see an order to Laser coming on! The other option is the Tera which can be reefed and have the sail options but hey, the bug looks like the way forward as this has been tried in the past.

Buy the Bug.
You can't hold off buying a boat because you think someone will grow out of it. Taken to that idea's conclusion know one would buy a boat until they were 50 years old and it would be Solo!? If she's happy, buy it. Forget about the possible loss of money. You can't put a price on the joy she is obviously having. Although it is getting to the end of the year. You'd better budget for a Dry suit! |

I agree - go for the boat that makes her happy. The most important thing is getting out on the water and enjoying herself! That's a proper grin! |
