Return to the Forum List  125 vs Pacer for family boat | Hi there, looking to get my kids interested in sailing. I’m down to either a 125 or a Pacer. I like the option of the trapeze and kite when the kids get a bit older but also need a stable enough boat to take them out without the use of the trapeze for the time being.
I’ve done a fair bit of sailing and kids are 9 and 7 currently.
Any advice would be great.
Cheers, Sam.

| | Re: 125 vs Pacer for family boat | Hi Sam,
I was in a similar situation to you a few years back and opted for the 125 as I didn't want to have to buy another boat to transition to after the Pacer (our club had these as learn to sail boats at the time and didn't plan on sailing them as a long term option). I sailed with my 7 year old son who at the time would not get on the wire and it just meant hiking harder. When sailing competitively the only issue we found was not being able to hold a shy kite on the reaches in breeze. I now sail with my 10 year old 30kg daughter who has been on the wire since she was 7 and loves it.
