 Topic: Europe v Byte CIIPosted: 28 May 10 at 10:21am |

I've owned a couple of Europe's and sailed Bytes in both
old and new rig format and personally... I find the Europe a much nicer boat in every respect, but I agree getting hold of a good one is hard and can be pricey in comparison. Ian |

Having sailed most small singlehanders, the thing they all have in common is that they are fun! I expect you'll enjoy whichever one you choose. Tonic for sale if you just want cheap fun... |

the other to think about is, do you think you will be puting on weight in the near future? if you think you will, you would be better off with a streaker or a lightning. |

At 65KGs you are at the top end for the Byte but this is probably your best option.

Thanks for the feedback so far. I am 65 kilos and, to be honest, have never heard of a Lightning and wasn't aware that Streakers were on the up nor have I ever seen one in the flesh! |
