twin handed dinghy

Well we are right on the coast so no river to sail out of but once a year venture to scotland for 3 weeks were there is one but its not important.

29er sounds good, and have looked at the 3000 but are hard to come buy on the market.

Im almost 15 and he is a little younger, im helming him crewing and ive have had experience in Laser, Feva, mirrors, topaz's etc and he has had more time in twin handed boats but we both sail regularly.

What about the laser 4000?

Harsh.... true enough but still definitely harsh!

I would say look for a Fireball or maybe a Scorpion. Depends how badly you want a trapeze.

You can get a solid enough Fireball for peanuts these days, ok it wont win you the nationals but they are still great fun and surprisingly forgiving if you crew has limited trapeze experience.

Scorpions do tend to hold their value, even 'old' boats hold their value well and the class has not been 'revolutionised' by foam sandwich with wood still being the weapon of choice for most of the front of the fleet.

My advice get out in a few boats (beg borrow or steal a ride) and see what you both like.
