Patrick,
My sons are three and seven years old. The seven year old is great on the boat and really knows how to stay safe and out of trouble. He has the option of coming racing with his dad but has not expressed an interest, so I'm not going to push it. The three year old is still a handful on the boat as he has limited understanding of what could hurt him. So for the moment, the boys stay home when I go racing. We do bring the kids cruising though. My kids love being in the Gulf Islands.
