	Or if you don't want to hike you'd also fit a 600 well. Fills most of the same boxes as the 300 in terms of challenge and speed, provision of curcuit, number of boats etc. Depends upon what sort of water you sail on really...if its a small lake i'd say hiking and then 300 or blaze - but if its a bigger lake (say 150 acres plus) then a trapeze boat really is huge amount of fun. Good luck finding a good boat.

	Bryn, you are the perfect hight and weight for a 300. As an ex 300 sailor i can confirm that you would not be disappointed with your purchase. The fleet are super friendly (i never heard a protest in the 2-3 years i sailed one) They are well built and dirt cheap to run. There is no boat of a similar type like it fast, challenging and rewarding. They take a bit of getting used to but thats all part of the fun. In my opinion its a Superior boat to any other hiking single hander, although i must say a modern blaze looks good.

	Hi all. Basicly I've just decided to ditch the national 12 and get a competitive single hander. At the moment I'm thinking that an Rs300 looks like a fun route to trundle down. Are there any other classes in terms of events and prevision that are better????? Or any boats that will suit me better (I'm 6ft and 72 kilos) THanks for your help Bryn
