What boat?

   Well for me its gotta be the RS300 if you can find one. I think you a bit too light for a Phantom. The Supernova is a good boat easy to sail but slow where as the 300 great boat very quick can be a bit demanding but we do have a 65 year old sailing one who does really well. The rig is spot on and easy to de-power. Defiantly would be my choice check out are website for a test sail at a local club near you if your unsure. We are having are Winter Champs at Northampton SC this weekend. www.rs300.com

	What about a Phantom. Carry a large weight range and are handicap bandits in the rights winds although maybe a bit physical for your friend!

	Supernova? Might not be the right street cred, but it's got a good PY and seems easy enough to handle. Besides, there are uglier boats!

	Can anyone recommend a non-trapeze, singlehander for a 50 year old weighing about 70kg? Preferably quite modern, quite fast but fairly easy to handle. Thinking of a Blaze at the moment but not quite sure.
