back on topic though: You need a moth in your life without a doubt

Ideal for lightweights and plently of kicks available, even before you start looking at foils

I think Hannah Clark was 54kg and about 5'4" when she was second in the Int. Canoe worlds.

The seat evens things out a lot.

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 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.

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.
