Lisle, For what it’s worth... My kids are the same age as yours (girl, boy), and we got our boat this summer, so they are completely new to sailing. I can tell you from heavy parent observation this summer, they don’t run around under sail. If they are hanging out below they’re stationary watching iPad or playing some kind of game “using” the table. Mostly they want to go on deck even if under sail.
When we’re at the dock, they want to go on the hard to explore, so we bring the bikes, or they’re in the cockpit, or they’re napping down below. One note of caution... mine seem to bicker over who “owns” the vberth. They call it the fort. Next year they learn to sail and build memories. /J > On Oct 11, 2017, at 6:09 AM, Lisle Kingery, PhD <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Thanks for all the helpful replies on cabin table options.
