boat for windsurfer

   The time has come to change from windsurfing to sailing.  I am a competent windsurfer at a level where I can sail F7-8's jump waves, back rolls etc etc.  I was OLD RYA level 4-5.
I am now after a dinghy.  I have done a sailing course and played around in a laser which to me seem like a stable bathtub compared to a board (no offence intended to laser sailers)  Although I like the idea of sailing lasers at club level I really fancy and need something a bit more challenging to learn.  I spent years swimming after boards so am happy to fall out lots to learn.  I like the idea of an RS600 ,contender , blaze etc etc.  Unfortunately I don't know enough about various boats to know whet to look for.  It needs to be single handed and trapeze.  any idea's??? Or am I looking to far ahead of myself.  I am 6 ft  13.5 stone  a firefighter so pretty fit.
