Any Suggestions?

   I'd never even thought of a Byte! Just checking it out now - thanks for the suggestions! (Also apologies - I think I started this thread in the wrong section - there's another section on buying boats!)

	4.7 rig not a radial. Why not a topper? You are the rightish weight (if a bit small) for a topper, and their is a good adult fleet, but if you don't want that i'd go for a 4.7- that's if you want a national racing fleet. if you dont the byte c2 looks really good and will prob. be a lot nicer to sail.

	How about a Byte with the new rig, Laser radial or 4.7. I think you will certainly be over powered with your previous suggestions.

	I originally learnt to sail on a dingy before yacht racing in my local area and have now decided to go back to dinghy sailing - as I've forgotten most of the practical stuff on how to sail! I want to buy my own dinghy in the next few months, however seem to have hit a brick wall in deciding what to get... I'm after a single-handed dinghy (so I don't have to rely on anyone else to sail). I wouldn't call myself a brilliant sailor by any means - but I do have quite a bit of experience crewing dinghies. I need a boat that I can learn from and a boat that is fun yet rewarding and challenging. But... I'm 5ft 1" and weigh about 50kgs - when I suggest possible boats to friends their immediate reply is 'you'll be overpowered' or 'you're not big enough'... ... I also don't want a topper or a topaz uno or anything like that... Is there a boat out there for me ??? I sure hope so! Any advice is greatfully received! (p.s. the boats I suggested include: Laser/RS600/RS700/RS Vareo/Europe).
