Hi
I am very much a newbie so apologies for any idiot assumptions..
I have sailed dinghies, rya level 2, so can rig, sail, etc... But don't have any bigger boat experience.... I also have the powerboat 2 .... I have reasonable awareness of tide, drift weather etc having kayaked dinghy sailed surfed and small boated in and around Ramsey Sound in Pembrokeshire for many years..
I am thinking of taking a plunge into the larger craft and really like the Bayraider 20, my thoughts are that it can be sailed solo, can take maybe 5?? And it looks forgiving for a novice (ballasted) but can be effectively upgraded by taking away the ballast...
We are now living half our time in Solva , which dries, so think this is ideal..
I would really welcome any advice or thoughts even if it is... "don't be a fool, go and get more experience , do a dayskipper first.." any advice welcome
Regards
Patrick
