I once bought a 23 foot Com-Pac from a guy going through a divorce, he used to go weekend cruising with his family of five......hmmmmm.... with this in mind you might wish to consider a larger boat!

Is a Typhoon Weekender big enough for a family of five?

hey, Tony... good to see you!
We've had 2 adults / two kids overnite on LIQUIDITY. It's a lot of people to be getting in/out of each others' way. I'd not want to do it for long on a smaller boat.

>>Cape Dory is a fine sailing classic but the trade off is having the low free-board and narrow beam as compared to say a Catalina.<<
Sailing with a family, I'd trade the creature comforts of interior space for the better, heavier boat, anytime.
