I only weigh a bit over 60kgs but have experience in 420s for 3 years and also 29ers. My crew however weighs 75-80kgs but has very limited experience at trapezing and using a kite. We'd be sailing on an estuary but the water is generally relatively flat.

I have about £4000 to spend (sold previous boat) and maybe a little more for the right boat.

I think thats it, hope you can help!

 

Which Estury?

 

For tat Money you'd get a decent Hurricane 59!

Development Boat - UK Cherub

SMOD - RS800

or 29er XX ( upgrade an old 29er ) but it's not really taken off, so a higher risk choice.

Depends what you are into.

Sounds like an RS800 fits the bill. I can't think of a twin wire boat that would
be easier to handle than an 8. You can take everything slowly in the 800 and
it forgives most mistakes without putting you in the drink.

I think I can hear a distant rumble. What could it be? Why, it's the Cherub sailors. They're coming!

There's half a chance that for once they might be right...
