mind you, there is a cherub for sale in the boat park....

Yes Isabelle, but I resign myself to the inevitable, hoping to sort the wheat from the chaff...

But having sailed a Byte with old and new rig on several occasions... and having owned 2 Europe's in the past I know which one I'd buy... again

The reason for asking about Europes was that they are cheapish and smaller than a Laser, so I can't see how making a suggestion about another boat that fits the bill (especially as Europes don't appear to be that cheap currently) is unhelpful.
 
If a Europe is what is wanted, fair enough. Nice boats, owned a couple over the years.
 
Yea gods, this forum would be boring if yes/no questions were answered with a yes or a no.

Have you contacted the Europe association?
And just keep watching ebay and the free ads boat sites until one comes up, and take it for a test sail before buying, if possible.

Rupert, the class sec is actually at neighbouring Grafham, so I've suggested Rachie gets in touch and tries to wrangle a test sail.  I know my Europe - can't even remember the sail number ended up down your way somehere...

Great little boat, but I always felt I was a bit too tall.  Now I am just plain too fat....
