hi again,

i previously posted on here about an rs300... but before i commit to buying
one, i want to check what other people think would be a good boat for me. I
want a fast, challenging, and streamline dinghy or skiff. I way 65kg!?!?
Any ideas?

thanks
Charlie Garner

What about a moth if you fancy an even bigger learning curve you should get a non foiling one for your budget but i would stick to looking for a 300 which are hard to come by at 2,500 thats the only problem

There are a few smaller guys around 65 to 70 kg sailing the
600 on the circuit and you won't go much faster than that
in a single hander for less than 2500 quid.

Below 70kg you use the wider wings and it all seems pretty
even with boat handling and technique being more important
