Oops, just noticed the Light Weight Sailing Dinghy thread by Brodywatt, which covers pretty much the same thing.

I need some ideas and advice. Having sold the RS200 when I got my crew pregnant (very careless), I got a Laser. Now that our lives are returning to some form of normality, I want to get out of the torture chamber and back sailing with my wife. Whilst she enjoyed the 200, I think its fair to say that she is a fair weather sailor and found it quite tippy. Also, our sailing will have to fit in with when we can find a baby sitter - ie we're not going to do that much. I therefore need something that is easier to sail than a 200, but still offers some fun and can be raced on a semi-competitive basis at club level. I don't want a symetic kite or trapeze, nor do I want a wooden boat. I can only think of the following options. Are there others and which would you recommend? Please help, it seems to be coming down to a Laser 2000! N12 - Too small and tippy, but quite good for light wind sailing on a lake Enterprise - Doesn't appeal at all, but I've never sailed one. Merlin Rocket - Look gorgeous but expensive, tippy(?) and I really want to avoid a symetric kite as we have no experience of them (and we probably won't sail often enough to get to grips with one) Laser 2000 - Like the 200 but more stable. Doesn't get my heart racing but I took one out in Croatia and thought it was actually very good. Tasar - This has been my second choice boat for the last 15 years, so I'm keen on this but my head says 'no'. How tippy are they? Is rigging them a hassle? Do you leave the mast up now with the new sails (and does that mean getting a new cover?) Can the font of wisdom that is the Y&Y forum help? |
