I have to admit liking the Vago.  It seems like the perfect solution, sail it like a Sunday driver, or cane the pants of it, all from the same rig...

The vario seems to do the same thing, but the Vago looks like it has the edge.  I see topper have a new 'Vibe', and their first meet is at the local club...might be the way to go...

Phantom looks a bit sedate, finn a bit heavy?  I want to be able to lug this around easily and be really easy to rig...(if its simple enough she can sail it..)



I definatly wouldn't say a phantom is sedate, 16 stone guy at my club finds it a challenge in anything above a f3 and in less it is comfortable.

The vario may well be a good option.  Its a single handed boat but you can take out your other half and let her do the kite.  It will certainly hold your weight as the main can produce quite a lot of power going upwind in a breeze.  And its by no means a super speedy boat so it wont scare your lady.
