Learn to sail boat

   Thanks guys.

We are also considering the Topper Topaz range as they are now imported but they look a little light.

	regular 20 knots plus, definately go for the feva, they are great boats in a blow. also being rotomolded they're fairly tough, only problem is the deep foils, the daggerboard can go through the daggerboard case into the hull but if your in deep water its fine.
	600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it. Also International 14, 1318

	The Feva in its more serious XL mode seems to be quite a nice (lightish) parent and child or two mid teens boats. It goes pretty well in a breeze so might be more exciting that you'd expect in the windy city...

	Our sailing club is considering a new trainer and we have the option of the Feva. Any comments? Our sailing water is Wellington Harbour New Zealand and we énjoy' persistant winds in excess of 20 knots, minimal tide and good launching/recovery. We use the 420 as the advanced step as it accomodates the winds quite well but is too delicate otherwise.
