I agree if i get a laser i wont enjoy it "asmuch" and will probably give up. I think a 29er, hefty in price but spoke to a sailing mate same age but doesnt way as much and we both agreed we'd put togerther and buy a two handed boat.

Reasons for a 29er:

Strong youth class

Basically a perfect training boat for the 49er (main aim)

29er is quite big and if you conqurer that class your bound to get noticed!
