I'd say the osprey, only sailed it a couple times but it just seemed to glide effortlessly.

My vote goes to NS14 This thread excludes cats, however I will say the smoothest boats I have sailed would have to be Classic Rigger Tornado followed by the A Class, Taipan 4.9 then Taipan 5.7 |

Blade F16 was very smooth when I had a ride on it - but then again so was the water. 29er is smooth when you get into the groove but when you get out of synch it definitely isn't! |

I like the look of the NS14 - have any bar staff in London imported one?

I love the 200, and have done most of my competitive sailing in one, but I took the helm of a 400 sailing in from racing after crewing for a mate at an event and was amazed at how light and smooth it was - much more so than the 2.

I totally agree, I had a 200 for about 3 years and loved it. Then I crewed a 400 a few times and was astonished to find it actually seemed easier to sail. |

got to be the 400, or 29er when sailed properly! although a int14 with
a hydrofoil in light to medium winds in very nice upwind!
