I woyuldnt imagine i would be able to get a 600 under £1000

If i cant get it for about £650 -£750 its out of my price range.

Get in fast if your after a 600 though... exceptional value this time last year but prices are on the rise at the moment with a big boost in popularity.

A moth wouldnt really be suitable off of the sailing club where i sail, it wouldnt last a season, it gets verry rough in any wind in most wind directions and i thinkg it would be impossible to launch it,

An RS 300 is out of the question because of the cost.

There was a good fleet of OKs at my old club and i fully agree they are nice boats but for someone used to a 14 would you really recomend them for a thrill ride?

My vote would be for a 300 or a moth (so far unmentioned for some reason?) but you may well find with either they start to take over and you'll find yourself wanting to sail them more and more.

If you want fun in big winds and waves in a single hander - Contender.

They are superb in those conditions and way better than most of the boats mentioned when it's breezy.

The hiking boats will fee like slow hard work after this classic.

At  £ 650 available it's got to be a well used Laser really - still as a student you'll get fit of course (having all that Laser fun upwind !!)  and still be able to sell it for near enough that in a couple of years time.   Get along to the associations at the Dinghy Show anyway and blag a ride in other stuff as well - most will do this for you and hope you get one of their's in the longer term.
