Yeh im the other student with a 14!! definetly worth it if you can sail with a mate, otherwise get a moth, lasers are incredibly boring unless you have a fleet near you, fleet racing in lasers is brilliant and great fun, but racing against other classes you suddenly realise how poor they can be, get a moth!!

I want a 14, but im a student :(

There are at least two of us on here who are students who own I14s, there are good ones availible for under £1000. This is more than your £500 budget but if you share the cost with your helm/crew you would be OK. Have a look in this thread:

I bet that, after 52 pages of answers (and completely off-the-point remarks "omg-yeah-lol"), you'll be advised to opt for something of a compromise.

If you get a Laser, you'll take half an hour to find on the beach after lunch: there are so many around!

On the other hand, the Moth seems to be a nice origami...

Im currently a student at uni and with a really limited budget of around £500. Im really keen on gettin a laser or a moth. Ive had a few years sailing experience and im up for a challenge. I would just love some advice on what to get and what sort of money im looking at spending.

Any help would be appreciated

I just want a boat
