: The only thing that sort of concerns me is where you say that you
: might take your young daughter in the boat with you after you
: get her a PFD. I'm not sure about anybody else but I think the
: smallish oval cockpit and relativley low masik you have will
: easily trap/snag two people if they try to exit at the same
: time. Also a young child may panic in the event of a capsize,
: making exiting that much harder.

I absolutely agree. I thought about it last night after returning home, and we won't be doing it again.

We might, however, have to build her a boat of her own when she gets a little older.
