hey

me and my mate are sailing a topaz tres atm but we are just a little bit overweight for it( only 10st lol)  we want some thing faster and bigger. me as a helm weighs 15st n my crew weighs about 11st. we dont mind trapzing. we only want a boat for club racing.

any ideas

cheers chris

Thought about a topper spice? double trapeze, fast in a blow, very cheap?

You would be too heavy for a 29erX. Why not sail a 49er?

Yeah 49ers cover a lot of ground quickly!

But as said before the Spice or Topper Boss may be good because both are fast and double trapeze although the boss may (yet again) be to quick across the lake for your sailing area.

Maybe laser 4000/5000

Oh right if i doesnt have to be double trapeze why not a fireball/505/osprey, theyre all meant to carry weight well i no the fireball does cos im not heavy enough !
