I was asked how often i sail my magno - most weekends may to october
when i am off. I sail with 2 kids so do tend to take it easy when they are
in the boat

I have also used the magno in stronger winds with an experienced crew a
few times

I have had rs 200 and 800 sailors using it and ive not had any negative
feedback

The original question was for a boat that can be used for training and can
take a bit of abuse - I have ran it full pelt into a mooring without any
damage

Its not the best boat out there but it fills the needs of learners and
families who do not want to spend a lot on repairs or maintenance
My first sport is kitesurfing and kiteatb so i wanted a boat only to use
when the wind is too low for kitesurfing

No. We already have 2 505's, an I-14, Laser2's, a Lightning, Hobies in various sizes, etc. There's no shortage of fast fiberglass boats here in the US. But we don't have access to decent rotomolded boats, aside from the Feva. There are some less-than-decent boats, but who wants those?

The Feva is a nice boat, but is a little too small for two college students of "average american build." Probably roomier than a Laser2, though.

Our problem is that our new sailors break the fiberglass boats faster than we can repair them. So, that's why I'm specifically asking about rotomolded boats.

Anyways, I have a statistics midterm tomorrow. I better get some sleep.
