which boat??

   420's are great to learn in, stable, fairly fast and give good teaching with a symetric spinnaker which you dont have to use if you dont want to. They're also dead easy to trapeze on! Or possibly a laser 2000, you can get a trapeze kit for it? Good luck in finding a boat!

	What sort of boat do you think would be suitable for a 17st bloke to take his two teenage daughters out in well ones 10 and the others 13 .I currently have a 505 which i desperately do not want to part with but I can only take them out in pretty light winds as they arent very experienced and obviously arent heavy enough.I would want to do some racing and be competetive at club level.Now at my club the main two handed fleet are RS400's and as much as i'd like to buy one I can't afford it!!!It would have to be 2 person or 1 and two smallish people dinghy preferably with spinnaker and maybee a trapeze espacially now the youngest one has started to like the idea.Was thinking 420,or maybe fireball what do you reckon ????Or should I keep the 5'oh and turn them into proper sailors.Answers on a postcard please!!!
