My wife and I want to learn how to sail and it sounds like the the Goose is the way to go. It also sounds like fun. I have sailed before but when I think of my attempts at sailing alone the word Kamakazi springs to mind. Being able to transport the boat on the roof of our car is also important. It has to be safe and comfortable to drive with and besides it pays not to push your luck with the German police. We will probably sail in the area of the old Rhein and also on the Bodensee. For the later, because we will have a sail area of less than 12sqm, we won't need a licence but because we'll be over 2.5m in length we'll need to be registered.

I'll go ahead and buy the plans but I'm not going to rush into building as I've got a mountain of other stuff to catch up with.

Cheers, Kev.

Oh no, what have I done!

Looking at the Bodensee requirements: you could opt for 2 OZRacers / OZ RVs (one for him and one for her). They would be below the 12 sqm and 2.5 meter length limits...
