Sam, if you and your dad weigh 120+ kilos, you might get away with a
4000. We sailed the 5000 weighing 135 kg to start off with and the 4000
is the design for lighter weights. If your Dad crews & you
helm, the 4000 might be worth looking at. The best advice you could get
is from contacting the 4000 class association because they are the
people who know the boat inside out and will be able to reccommend if
the boat is suitable for you.

One of the problems with the 4000 might be righting it. I think you probably need 70kgs on the board to stand any chance of getting it upright again. Do you intend sailing on open water or a pond? |

if you want a single hander buy a laser 4.7 they are far more powerfull and faster than a topper or a int moth if you want to be a bit different. if you want a double hander buy a cherub a 200 is quite boring! lol

the cherub and feva may be totally different boats, but then it depends on your sailing ability, weight and boat style preference!.....and the feva is made of plastic @ 120kg, I'd say you're to heavy for a Feva.....but bang on for the lighter weight's in the 200.....or perfect for a cherub! It depends if you want to be extremely competitive, cos if you do....@ 120kg, you'll lose out to the big guys like Pete Vincent and Ian Pickard in the 200 as soon as it gets above F6....and the 200's still race in F7+! So a Cherub would be better for that reason...(plus the boat is sooooo quicker and all round nicer to sail!)....I'm selling my 200 to get a cherub! You would prob be too light for a 4k above F3....I used to race one and my helm and I were nearly 130kg and we strugled above a F4.....was fun but we really had to work hard to keep up with the big guys! the other bad thing about the 4k is if ur light...u hav to use those awful lead weigts.....they make the boat slow and they look ugly!

The topper worlds arent definately im lake garda next year, they are likely to be in NZ but nothing is definate yet. There wasnt topper worlds this year because they had the europeans in blessington in ireland (next week) which follow on from the nationals. You never have euro's and worlds on in the same year.
