I reakon a laser vortex would suite you well. If you want simple single handed trapezing, there is nothing like it. They seem to hold there value qutie well and you could probebly pick one up for around £2000.

Go for a contender as it's a realy nice boat to sail (and you spend more time sailing than swimming, unlike my mate who has an RS600). You can also get a good one for your budget, or get one cheap enough to have enough money left to upgrade to a Carbon Rig. You can try looking at http://www.sailingsource.com/contender/gbr/
Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Int moth - you can get a decent carbon one with a carbon rig for around £1k, and then the foils from full force will be around £1k - and ul have £500 left to buy a new sail!

Conainer (contender), dey r ok - provided you are an ape, or have at least 12 ppl to help HAUL it up the slipway!!

What do you weigh, and what do you think you will weigh in a couple of years? That's the key question in all dinghy classes and above all in single-handers. It's pretty unlikely you'd be the right weight for both an Int Moth and a Contender: it would be one or the other.
