Thank you Tom!

@ Andinista: Thank you for your thorough response. I do like speed - it is fun. My crew will be my wife and 2 kids (ages 3 and 6). I grew up sail...

I was thinking a NACRA 570 all along - will that not be too much to sail with kiddos? Can you dump the power fairly easily?

Thanks guys - I do appreciate the suggestions and input.

So Jalex - are you reccommending the 18 with wings?
