thats a very board question got any more specific details? where you sail, 1 wire or 2? or 3! how much dough you got 2 spend?
cheap boats that come to mind are boss,5000,buzz,iso,4000,spice or older 14 their all a blast only problem is fleet racing is hard to find in these classes minus the 4000.

i was more thinking twin but nothing too insane cuz most of the time she'd be living at a fairly restricted reservoir
and when the time comes i should have about 2-2and a half grand

Spice? gives you twin wires and fairly bigish rig and nice and easy to learn to twin wire from...  my all up crew weight averages between 21-23 stone depending on who crews for me

however the class is dead i admit that, no nationals/opens for them

and i sail
 it often on a smallish lake and just about get away with it as its not  an insanely fast boat but it still gives u a great feeling.(for me it does anyway)

and best thing is they are priced like a topper, and come with plenty of kit




*prepares for a beating*

Spice all the way!

For a beginners twin wire boat, theres nothing better. ( Unless you have hundreds to spend on keep a 14 or cherub running every month? )

Damn cheap as well!

Where do these stories come from? I've never owned a 14, but my Cherubs have always been very cheap to run over the long term. Petrol was always the biggest running cost.
