Lasers are actually quite comfy cos the decks are so wide (or i'm just small!) i nearly had a nap on the foredeck the other day but decided that i'd better race...

Sailing any boat with a hangover that would kill a small child is uncomfrortable.

I think Graduates might be one of the most uncomfortable! or my experience was!

I was in the battered club one instructing 2 kids and the strap was mouldy and snapped so i fell out and held on to the tiller and got back in the boat in lightning quick time and bugger me until they realised i was wet, they hadnt noticed i fell out! He he he i got a clap in the debrief for a 'speedy recovery'!

Most comfortable boat to hike off has to be the flying fifteen, its like sittting in an armchair, you can hike for hours and not feel tired, its great, pitty the loads are a bit high though.

Nice one pondling!!

I've crewed for the first time in my life today! It was on an RS400 and I found it very comfy. Hiking out is certainly easier on the legs than a Topper and it's got so much room everywhere! I tried to helm it too - after the race... Tacking was interesting; the boat's quite wide and when you think you're on the other side, you're only half way! Apart from that, I had a great time... but I'm not sure if the helm did
