Mr.Bucket's family has 4 members. 3 year old, 9 year old, mom and of course Mr. Bucket. Which choice do you like better. Mr.Bucket thinks about building these boats:

Chesapeake 14 - for the 9 year old 85pound baby
Chesapeake 17 - for the wife or Mr.Bucket
Chesapeake Triple - for the 3 year old and 1 or 2 parents

Another choice is:

Pygmy Osprey 13 - for the 9 year old athlete
Pygmy Arctic Tern - for the wife or the hubby
Osprey Triple - for the parents and the 3 year old baby
