What's next for me?

   Thanks, what do you recommend for me to proggress into from the picos, I don't think a topper is much faster.

	Its certainly more than possible to have one boat on the roof and one on a trailer. Seems like a reasonable option in the circumstances. Back in the day expeditions to events on the continent might see two boats on a trailer and another on the roof of what would now be considered very small cars. But you need to be aware that many cars these days have what seem to me ridiculously low weight limits for the roof rack. If you exceed those limits you may get insurance company problems. If this did turn out to be a problem another possibility might be to put both boats on the trailer and all the spars on the roof rack.

	I am a member of southwold sc which has a fleet of 6 picos, 3 laser 2000s and a 420. My family of 4 have been sailing for two years. We already own a leader, which I crew in for my dad. I feel that I have grown out of the picos though and would like something faster and more thrilling. Some of the members of my club own lasers and the club are looking to get a couple but being young and only 40 ish kg, they are two much for me, we (my family) are looking into getting a topper for whoever wants to sail single handed at any time. Our leader though, is only big enough for me, my dad and occasionally my sister. My mum does not fit in. We were thinking about putting a topper on top of the car and the leader being towed, would that be possible. Anyway I would like to hear what you think. Thanks, Oscar
