Im around 65kg and i used to have a Vortex Asymmetric and
it was a great boat. Because it is so stable, even in heavy winds it is still very manageable. Currently i sail an RS600 and, while being at the other end of the stable scale, is a very nice boat to sail. The downside is that with the big fully battened main, keeping control in bigger winds is a lot tougher. It is still good fun though. Of course it all depends on your skill level, what you want from the boat, whether you want hiking or trapeze etc... |

Usual advice / questions will follow - often most fun to sail same as others at your club, what sort of sailing do you want etc etc All perfectly valid. But I have two vastly different suggestions - For competitive class racing and a big choice of opens, with World / Europen and even Masters events - Laser Radial - as long as you don't mind hiking.. For trapezing, blasting and a scattering of good opens around the country - Vortex - especially if your club is big enough to allow the Asymmetric option..
