your essentially  asking for something that doesn't exist. something grp / poly pro plastic, these materials are not light, and very unlikley to find a boat of the size you want  that is car topable and light enough to be handled easily by two people. laser 2/fun is a good idea, or why not just a standard laser 1 it doesnt sound like your going to be going far from shore so could fit a couple of you on it pretty easily

What about a Dart 15, split it down for roof racking. I'm not sure if the mast is one or two piece.

I would love a dart but would want to leave it behind as it's the boat that I'm going to get my self for home. I'm starting to realise that some thing like the laser would be best any thoughts on a byte or are they ment for lighter sailers?

Byte is definitely for lighter/smaller sailors. Laser would be ideal (though not so great with an adult passenger) plus if you do find it underpowered (you shouldn't really) you could with another year's budget buy a Rooster 8.1 rig for it.

Might be worth looking at Minisails on ebay, too. They are all very old now, but come up fairly frequently,are cheap, and make a good platform, being round bowed. Narrow, so good on a car roof and stored leaning against walls.
