Feva or Laser?

   I'd go for the Laser, reckon after a few sails the Feva would feel too easy. The Laser isn't too difficult a boat to sail for fun.

	If you don't want to race then the feva sounds like the one for you. I have had two of my best sails this year in plastic boats, I think that may be they get a bit too much stick on this forum. I'm of a similar size to you and the feva is great in a blow s/h and it can be dragged up the beach, Lasers are fine if you race but crap to yacht about in.(IMHO)

	I think you just answered your own question. But i feel the feva wouldnt be a good choice because : a) i think after strenuous testing they are crap b) Lasers are much more competitive c) a laser is not plastic Happy sailing

	I'm a 12/13 stone 39 year old and after a 25 year break from sailing and a recent session in a Feva which I really enjoyed,would I be mad to buy one of these(probably an XL) rather than the more obvious choice of an old Laser for what I want which is a safe,easy,stable bit of fun from the beach?? Thanks for your thoughts!
