Go for the 29er, you might do a bit of swimming at first but you'll love it. Then when you get used to her, or too big, upgrade to the 29erX rig with twin trpezes and larger sail area. After that, the 49er is the way forward and you've taken a progresive route up the 9er classes meaning there will be a bit of swimming, but you should enjoy it and nothing will seem like a major leap.

He does have a point, your friend may have been in the lead but had he been the right way up he would have been able to take full advantage of this,

I do believe it is possible to finnish like that.
