Sorry to Blaze, and others I haven't mentioned but bearing in mind he already has a Laser, I think your no doubt excellent boat will not offer 5420 the contrast in sailing he seems to want .....

Hector - Now even you are doing it !!  you might be right but costs nothing to have a go first - there is more than a slight contrast between a Laser and a Blaze and half a dozen other possibles apparently discounted.  Try them all was the advice.  But if it really is down to the 600 and Contender I'd go for the Contender  everytime - but then I have sailed both  ! 

Cheers - Blaze 720

rite, im 16, 6' 2" and weigh 10 an a bit stone ok, i got a moth last year and have not regretted it at all, ive spent in all about a grand on my first moth, and ive managed to get a narrow moth hull (carbon foam sandwich), carbon angell mast, needlespar alloy mast, carbon boom , compass, carbon mount, alloy wings with caws tramps, all new spectra and dyneema cordage, carbon prodder (weird moth spreaders) alloy gantry (extension at back for rudder), carbon T-foil rudder to pin the back end down, carbon daggerboard and a super lightweight launching trolley. aswell as a fitted cover from purple. all mint. and well worth it. fast as!!!! uneed to try one man and for the record, the hydro foils cost £1500 minimum , probably more, and you still need to convert your boat, so go for non foiling first to learn to sail them cos they are well worth it with gr8 handicaps!!!

for 2500 you wont get a mps or 700, but it will get you a very good 600, the one at my club is going for about that and is in mint condtion, brand new mast too

aren't you forgetting he said he had around £2500 to spend, and i don't think you would get a decent MPS for that.
Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
