I sail on Lake Lavon, spend a lot of time looking at the telltales and tacking to avoid trees in the shallower end of the lake. I spent a couple of summers sailing sunfish, and this boat is a breeze - the toughest part (IMO) is getting boat to bite upwind, when the winds are swirly - (sure there is a technical term for that) - it can be a real challenge to progress.
IMO the boom and the sand bars at low tide in the Delaware were at a lot more exciting / challenging to sail than the tandem island on the lake (trees excepted).
If you ever want to come up and try Lavon - happy to hang out for a 1/2 day - there is a bar at the end of the lake that is a good target - but recommend packing a cooler in case the wind is weak.
