Another which boat...

as an outside chance theres the 600, i understand that there are few at weston. you would need wide racks and i would think it might be a challenge at your height. im about 5' 10'' and between 68 and 70 kilos. so im right on the top weight range of wide racks and i find it a really enjoyable boat (if very wet). if you want to come and play on mine when its mended (cracked the foredeck and snapped the rudder last weekend) drop me a PM or email (mike (at) ellisdesign (dot) co (dot) uk).

i am aout 5ft 9ish and only 67kg. i also sailed a radial beforehand. my first sail was in an A rig and i loved everyminute of it. i now have bought a boat with a B rig. fully powered up in about 5knots. but the boat depowers SOOOOO easily. lots of kicker and downhaul 'al la laser' (excuse spelling etc).

i love the boat to bits and find it great fun to sail on the sea. you do need to be faster and more in tune with the boat. it also requires MUCH more concentration that the radial. but you will feel the rewards. have yet to take it out in extreme conditions. but in a f4 was going nicely upwind with a bit more depowering capacity.

when you first get into it you will be shattered after each sail. it is seriously hard work. but in my view, worth the extra effort. one thing i can promise you is that you wont get bored in this boat for a long time.
