Europe.

Light, relitavely simple once you have got used to it. Great club racing boat (Good PY at 1139) and can wipe the floor with the Full rig lasers if sailed right.

Relatively cheap. A decent one goes for about £1500. Mine was that price with 3 sails, all race kit and roadbase u/o covers and almost new trolley. and a carbon mast to top that off :)

He might struggle with the low boom as he has a bad back.  How do you find it?
I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

I am 5"10 and I have *touch wood* never hit my head on it or had any trouble with it.

The boom REALLY isn't as low as it looks, you sail upwind off mainsheet tension not kicker, so when you release the main to tack, the boom lifts a lot, especially in a blow
