Hi Nohuhu, I used to sail until about ten years ago when I started running a scout troop and couldn't dedicate enough time to the crew. I did the fore deck on an Adams 13 and never got my hands on the tiller and rarely got back in the cockpit unless used as ballast
I grabbed the TI so I can haven't a run whenever I want and I see it as a good way the get my 8 yr old twins sailing. If they stuff a tack it's a bit more forgiving my mate tried to sell me his Windrider for a lot less than what the TI cost but I could see the family getting a lot more involved with the ti. I had the better half in the front and a twin on either tramp out in 20 knots and playing in the surf at the mouth of the hack get river on the first day. I've done some river runs each spare day since but need a bit more safety gear to venture out a little further.
