Another which boat...

   Yet again we're after a boat. We're now after a 2 person boat who would be sailed by me and my sister probably on the circuit. I'm 15 and 50kgs and shes 12 and about 40kgs. We sail on a smallish lake. Something that is a good racer but also good for her to get good in. Price - up to £2000.
Thanks in advance.

	29er good choice but you wont get a decent one for 2000 infact i think you'd be hard pressed to find one for that price at all and tbh i cant think of anything else sorry just a bad point x

	I think you'll be alright in the 3k. The 3000 is the only boat I can think of that would suit you.

	Got a 500 but selling it due to lack of use and already got a laser 4.7 which she is a bit light for at the moment. Was looking at the mirror but not sure how the circuit is. Basically we are waiting till we put on weight for the 420. So need to put on 15kgs between us to be close to the weight. Plus symmetric spinny is better as thats whats on the 420. Thanks again!

	Mirror circuit is amazing, it's all zoned so events are usually only an hour or so away. There's loads of coaching as well as opens, have a look at www.ukmirrorsailing.com or pm me for details - I may be more than a little biased but they are great boats.
