but surely as the feva xl is a double hander and i am under the recommended crew weight it will be quite nippy. Or not i'm just guessing.

i am in the rs feva national squad

i would have to recommend the feva for its light wind capability.  i am about 2 stones too heavy for it and it is still one of the faster boats on the course in ligther winds...  in a force 3-4 is were it comes alive..

i would really reccomend it .. also you can sail without the gyb and use it as a single-hander!!

its an amazing and strong boat... strongly consider it

You'll be nippy in light stuff, yes, but you'll struggle therefore in a blow surely?
