I would have to reinterate the Byte CII. If you only weight 50 kgs a laser with any rig on is going to weigh a good 20 kgs more than you and you will have to pull it up the slip way as well as the actual phyiscs of sailing the boat. The CII's hull weight is only 45kgs with a rig weight of 8kgs, so it will be easier to handle both on and off the water. The rig will take you from 50 kgs up to 68kgs easily, in fat the world champ is 73kgs. You can set the rig to generate power in the light and if you do any opens it is easy to depower in a blow. Plus the rig wasn't designed in 1732

What about a Europe? Superb little thing and easy to power up and depower the rig for changing weather.
Nice and light to launch too. |

I believe tonbridge sailing club is the smallest! I dont think its even 8 acres its that small! And id probably get a feva or somehting like that. probably not the best place for a 29er etc because you need space to bear away. Maybe best to get something with a daggerboard aswell?
Or u could just move clubs? ![]() |

I'm quite sure BLYM is smaller.
Not sure on the dimensions, but on a windy day .. you have about 30 seconds side to side, and about a minute and a half tops end to end. Also .. was there ever an answer to this thread in the end? Did the thread starter decide upon a boat? |

Hey I would say go for a 29er, they are so much fun and are a fleet which is building quick. If it helps i have one up for sale. GBR 773 |

My kids went from toppers to 29er , had a great time , but quickly outgrew it (must be the porridge), but 29er experience has been invaluable . Youngest was 12 helmed and could handle it . |
