Finn - owned a couple - but did for my knees
Icon - but I don't have any friends! Merlin - loved it but don't have any friends! D-one - great upwind and down, but a challenge Had numerous laser, never loved any of them ...... don't mention the RS100, everything I hated about the laser plus the challenge of the d-one but with no reward. In order??? Merlin - would have one if I had a regular crew (full carbon everything and fally over single string thingy) Finn - loved it, must have the right rig - should have started younger D-one - it's the one for me - just need to increase practice and fitness - Gard a here I come!  |

Byte C2 ........of course! I don't sail one now so....
.....Lightning 368 because it allows me to sail a nippy boat without falling in all the time. 505, I have crewed a few times in the past and they look so lovely. Contender which is the boat you drew on the back of your maths book before you ever saw one. Foiling Moth, an unobtainable dream! Can you come back to me after Sailfest? I have never seen an Icon sail and I have never seen a D Zero at all. My preferences may revise.

OK, worst five then.....Laser 2, (owned), Ancient Solo, (owned), Zoom, (owned)......How about Javelin, Merlin or geriatric Lark? Undecided there.....Then I have special place in my heart for my Tasar (still owned).
Years of 'Just messing about with boats'.

Laser 2?
I loved mine. Cheap, simple, and good big fleets with decent piss ups after racing. For the stage in my life I was at, it was perfect. |

Totally agree - easily (feels like) the fastest boat you'll ever sail, spray everywhere on a 3 sail reach, twitchy steering, great parties,loads of hot girls sailing them..... great times in my early 20's.

Problems with L2? Crap on a lake where the kite is too big and the pole too long...unstable on wire in gusty stuff......and.....I was 58 when we got it. Replaced with Tasar..much better.
