There is no 'best' skiff if you dont include the cherub...
Each have their own merits and dissadvantages and its totaly down to which YOU want to sail Id be inclined to suggest that you probibly need to spend more time around these kind of boats (ie enough to know which you preffer!) before you think about moving into them. |

But equaly both can be afordable and extremely slow in the wrong hands.... doesnt really help much though. |

From what I understand the I14 would be a little easier to sail. Either boat will be a kick. I don't think there are too many skiffs that are totally out. Pick the one that has the most numbers in your area.

The first criteria must be do you want a dev class or one design with olympic sailors racing in it? As a side note, the 2 best sailors I have ever met have all come from 14s. Edited by m_liddell |

If you contact the Int 14 class im more than certain that they would arrange a test sail for you with a fairly top notch boat. They certainly seem a very friendly and open class. Im sure a test sail could be arranged through the 49er class association although dont quote me on that...... if not, is there anyone here with a 49er willing to help out??? hehehe
