whats a good singlehander for uberlightweights?? im 8 stone and 5'4" needs to be very quick or unstable as i get bored. prefer to kitesurf but im nowhere near the sea anymore so wanna get back into sailin.

class full of pissheads would be a bonus.

and dont say cherub, they arent a singlehander

And...hmmm...no, Rick is right, the Moth is about it, really, seeing as the MXRay has no class to be pissheads with!  All the other fast classes need some weight behind them - you'd even get people telling you you are too light for a Topper on this forum!

There's an Osprey with your name on it somewhere Gordon .

But, in response to the original question, a Moth would give you endless hours of amusement.

A Class....   BIG fleet racing too.

 

 

Or you could try an F-16......  Race one up with main and kite, or put on a jib and second set of trap wires and race 2 up on the same yardstick...... Also very close on yardstick to A's and F-18s.

i think i know the awnser to why there are not meany fast boats for small people

 

to go fast you need lots of power and to do that you need lots a waight to keep it going the same way as you are

may be we need a boat where there is balest on top of the dect and we can move it around wit a rope sistem or with your hands

a bit like a IC seat
