ideas for an experienced learner

basically wanting to spend money before I even have it XD

But 1st like to say "heylooo"

yeah basicall i want to buy a yacht for my dad and myself for say £3000 (i know aint a lot but the autotrader equivalant is showing up quite a few).

Now we arent inexperience I think ive gone out like 8times alone this summer with my dads uncle (as well as all the past eyars), been on sailing trips with him since god knows when, done a sailing course for a two man thing with my brother and competantly sailed a Laser in the south of france on a school trip. And wanting to join the sailing club at uni. The only thing I suck at is ropes =[

So yeah suggestions would be good!

And for those nosey sods uncles yacht is a Southerly 28.

Go for a Laser3000. Forgiving and easy to sail with the assymetric but lively enough with the trapeze to give you both a laugh. If you could fly a symmetric spinnaker then I would say Fireball for similar reasons.

Everything that Merlinboy asks is also appropriate. Give us some more info and you'll get some good suggestions.

(Also drop the SMS-speak if you don't want to get ridiculed on this forum. Even Smight can now write proper-like )

And just to help roco5000:

Help might be available from your local sailing club, assuming you'd like to buy a dinghy. Not only you'd see what classes they sail there, but their training person / instructor might be able to assess your ability and help you narrow your choices.
And ropes tend to take a big place in sailing, so you'll have to get used to them!

Finally, welcome on board!  

Sorry, Roco, can't really help you on this. Although this forum covers pretty much anything with a mast, it is dominated by high-performance dinghy and cat sailors.

With £3000 to play with you are really taking pot-luck with what you get. Keep checking the small ads. Whatever you get at that price will probably need a deal of tlc to keep her going. Good luck.
