Hi, Me and a friend are looking for a cheap doublehander.
Preferably with 1 trapeze, or both crew hiking Assymetric Spinni (but we could use a symetric if we had too) Center main preferable (or easily converted) Under £1500 Together we weigh aprox. 120 kg. We are currently looking at National 12's, 405's, and possibly Fireballs. Any suggestions? |

Might not get one within your price range, but probably under £2000 - how
about a Laser 3000? Should be ok weight wise, centre main, assymetric, one trapeze, lots of fun when the wind gets going ![]() |

You could get an old fireball or Merlin Rocket, and do it up, if you weren't too bothered about having a boat capable of winning the nationals.

Whats that rumbling?
It sounds like a herd of cherub forumites stampedeing to reccomend their boat!
Actually not a bad idea, fits your criteria (if you stick to the single string version), and can be picked up cheaply, espically if your handy with a bit of epoxy and some carbon twill.
Fireballs can be found at that price (espically if you like varnish) and have a very active circuit, you may have to grow into it slightly though... |

Laser 2 is where my money would be going, you would be able to get a really decent one for that price, and there is a decent circuit for them in certain areas of the uk. I had one when I was a young teenager and wished I had kept a hold of her because they are real fun when the wind gets up, the bow pops up really easily and for the size of the boat, she carries quite a hefty spinnaker. Other-wise, the Cherub does seem quite a good option too if you're wanting to go down the development class route but be prepared to develop the boat to keep up with the guys with twin strings and big kites.

laser 4000 all the way would be great for u and fits in your weight range but a cheap 4tonner would set u back about £2000

29er would be the best option for you're weight and spec. but its gonna
be outside ur price range. an old National 12 would be great and
plenty of fun!
