My wife and I,ages 64 and 70, sail a Wilderness 21. We love the boat but find it too small for Bay sailing during summer months. We are considering an E-27 as a replacement. We would prefer to wet-sail as we sail weekly and will not race the boat. We would appreciate feed-back regarding the suitability of the E-27 for us. Also please comment re: the pros & cons of cockpits sans seat backs. Many thanx,Harvey
