Topic: yet another what boat... Posted: 17 Feb 07 at 6:48pm |
Hi,
I'm currently sailing a Mirror and loving it when it's howling, but I think the time has come to move onto something more grown up. I sail on smallish reservoir where trapezse boats aren't strictly allowed, so choice is somewhat limited. I prefer double handers, any sort of kite. Any ideas? |

Get an RS200 Hannah, good lil boats, go fast on lakes and are pretty
easy to handle. Got the Assymetric for a bit of added fun too.

Agreed, maybe a national 12? No kite but dynamite on small and shifty lakes

National 12. A second hand one in decent nick can be had second hand for cheap, in the older designs without the double floor.
