Hi there,

What boat for a large framed 15-16 stoner, that I can comfortably take the other half on (7 stone), but want to be able to sail on my own.

I see people rave about the 59er, but I dont think that will work on my own...

Thanks for any replies...

Mark

Both ideal boats for taking the other half out on...
(we need a *rolls eyes* emoticon)

I dont think youl find anything ideal for both, what will you be doing more often?
Something like a laser 2 maby? you could have a lot of fun singlehanding it but plenty of room for 2

you post to fast its not about how quick you can get 5 stars its more about how worthe while your posts are and if people understand them.

Laser 2 is a good cheap option but you would strugle with a symetric kite on your own.

Vago maybe still relatively expensive

Kind of stuck here not to sure let me think for a while ill get back to you.
Go Big or Go home or sail a 49er!!!
