	merlin rocket is hardly in the same price range as a 200 although you never know, you might get lucky.
	600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it. Also International 14, 1318

	Speed is all relative. When I had a Topper I viewed a 5o5 as fast, then I had a Dart 18, I Viewed a Hurricane 5.9 fast, now I've an F16, I view a Tornado as a bit faster !!!!!!!

	Woops, I was sailing an MRX, but they're pretty similar. Well we were getting a bit overpowered and it wasn't that windy...

	Go for the Merlin, much better boat than a 200, so much more responsive and gives loads of feedback when sailing. You don't have to spend that much money to get a nice one....
	Needs to sail more...

	Tom is right, you will pick up a decent merlin for £2500 - £3000 The only problem you will have is with maintanace as it will be wooden!
