I'd say that's borderlining it. I mean it is definately enough room to sail around, but you might get bored after a while going around the same area all the time. Then again I dont know much about sailing in lakes. I sail in the ocean, and there's plenty of room there. Perhaps when some people who sail on lakes respond they will have some more definitive stuff to say. However, if you get a trailer with it then you can at least occasionally take it to another bigger body of water to sail.
