that's the kind of reply i was hopeing for thank you Jim

i just wanted to know if the laser was 100X funner then the topper so it would make up for the lack of racing.

i just want to compare the 2 boats.

 

Is the radial sutable for a 55kg person or is it too much?

And for whatever my opinion is worth the 4.7 is a ghastly creation with the rig and hull completely out of balance...

If racing's what he wants, and the Topper is the much stronger class in the area, is there really any need to ask? Other than so you can say to him "a bunch of people on the internet said you'd be an idiot not to go for the Topper for now".

my brother is 55kg in weight and isnt sure of what is better for him the laser 4.7 or the topper.

 

he is a good sailor with just under 2 years experience in an RS feva.

What is the better boat.

also the racing around here is all topper, very few laser's around and the training for topper is much better.

 

i think the topper is better for him personally but i just want to hear a few opinions
