One of mine leaked so much that driving it was a bit like sailing, and it smelled like a wet suit

A vago, they are really good for learning to trapeze (If you can stay upright and not end up doing the splits down the boat.)
luv Helz

On the contrary, I've heard they're awful to trapeze from that deep cockpit. A former Vortex sailor at our club found it almost impossible for some reason.

Surely you find the 29'er easier to trapeze, Helz (apart from the wobbliness).

Better than a Vago, RS 500..... same price but much better boat, however, in my opinion better than both, V3000

RS700 because you can afford a second hand one unlike a Musto.
