Musto Skiff

A quick list of singlehanded trapeze classes, as far as I can tell... it seems a lot of them are cats!

I always enjoyed sailing a Contender, though the boom is a bit low during tacks!

Hi all, I’m looking at entering into the single handed trapeze area. I don’t particularly want a skiff as I sail on a lake that is incredibly gusty.
Ideally I would be looking for something shaped like a 505 but smaller. I don’t mind how much sail there is. I know you can single hand a 420 by moving the mast however I’m put of this as I know they did flex when the mast tension was on preventing the dagger bord form moving. (Is this still an issue with them?)

Thank you in advance
Robert
