I can take a small crew in the front of the Vareo without any issues plus if they want a go on the stick I can just about get from one side of the boat to the other in the front possition as the boom on the vareo slopes upwards.  Also I am 6" 2'  and 95kg
 
There are quite a few Vago's at our club and they are more suited to take a crew that a Vareo with the trap option.  But the Vago is lot more complex to sail well single handed than the Vareo, so it depends on their skill level and if the want a single handed trap boat.

Dart 18 is very competitive single handed and perfect for a 90kg bloke.

I've heard things about a legendary shore dump down that way that might not suit a cat though.

F16 singlehanded or double, no problem.

Cats are not sailboats in the true sense of the word and anyway they are banned now at our club by Commodoral edict.

Cats are also the spawn of satan - it's written.

If looking at cats, there must be several others that would do the job too?

Dart 15 appears to be only credible option and only if you have a fleet of them. Otherwise get a couple of boats.
