NMNA - $2450. If you've never seen these, they're pretty cool. You sit inside a 12 foot boat with only your head sticking out at deck level, all sails operate from the cockpit. I almost bought one but the lake I was on had too much milfoil for a full keel boat.

Those look cool, but I'm really really not sure how much I want to be stuck inside one of those when I lay it over.

yeah, I think I would have to go with a Hobie Cat . I sailed one once, its a blast, and pretty fast as well.
I sailed one of these indoors in an Olympic swimming pool. They had fans on both sides of the pool and you tacked upwind just. like normal. Very surreal.
They use these with disabled sailors and often have to crane the sailors into and out of the boats. The boats are very stable and buoyant.
In reply to jharry3 :
just sent most of the weekend on a couple different Hobie cats.. They ain't much good for sitting and sipping wine.. but I always have an amazing time...
Friend on Chesapeake Bay has a Gemini 32, that's a wine sipping Hobie!
