Why did he struggle? Was he too small, or is the boat a pig to sail. It has a very fine bow and I guess would bow bury easily if one didn't sit well aft.

Having sold old OKs and Finns over the years I know the boat will probably be hard to move on, and cost me money, but provided one buys cheaply enough the cost should be bearable. Especially if I keep the full details secret from my wife

Hi,

New here, but not to sailing. I am looking for any comments (good or bad) on the Laser EPS. I am giving some thought to buying one. I have sailed Lasers, OKs and Finns in the past. Tried a Contender for a while but it's not suitable to the lake I sail on. Having been boatless for a couple of years I am looking for a singlehanded dinghy. Nothing wooden, and the EPS caught my eye.

I know that they are no longer produced, but this means that the prices are falling so now seems a good enough time to buy.

All answers gratefully received.

Thanks, Skiver
