MX Ray or Laser

   And for my biased opinion, if you're a big bugger the Finn is perfect, it's almost like a mini yacht and is more than happy in the waves.
I find the laser gets slapped around too much in waves, where the Finn has the mass and weight to go through them happily.

	Both boats are in different leagues and are hard to compare. In my experience the Laser is hard work when it is windy and in waves. Depending on your weight there are several other boats which if you are in the correct weight range for the Laser are far better for sea sailing. I would suggest either the Red Eye solution or the Blaze, but then again I am biased towards both of those. Just my 2p... Paul

	As a Laser Sailor, I would be saying a Laser. It all goes back to your experience, weight and ability. How easily you will require parts and "how rough" the conditions are? I can sail my Laser in a F6 with the radial rig on, at least the Laser you can change the rig, not sure you can with the MX

	What would be the better boat to sail in heavy ish conditions in rough seas. Would the MX Ray be up to it?
