How about a lowrider moth?

there more than fast enough for BLYM and you can always modify it for foiling if you get board/ move to a large expanse of water.

and they are cheep.

Why not try out the Vareo that Villian has (James) and give
that a go. Otherwise try a lightning, great in light winds
and can beat a Laser.

Guys,
Charlie is part of the BLYM clan. Therefore it has to be able to sail
with ease on a lake that isn't that big and lots of trees around it,

Basically no trapeze. As I believe charlie will mainly sail there.

Charlie, as I said last night at the club, sell the feva, the you can just
hire out blym boats! It's not like we don't have a small range of boats,
let alone your'll save money not paying insurance, maintainance. And
all for £6 for a days sailing!! Think if the money you could spend on kit
or whatever

Usual advice /

perfectly valid. But I have   two vastly different
suggestions -


For competitive class racing and a big choice of
opens, with World /
Europen and even Masters events - Laser Radial - as long
as you don't mind
hiking..


For trapezing, blasting and a scattering of good opens
around the country
- Vortex - especially if your club is big enough to allow
the Asymmetric
option..


 


Well id rather not hike but on a laser theres no point
because my club has
loads.


I would say thats a bonus to buying a laser, you will get
some class racing! I currently have a 600 but am selling
it cause the other two at the club dont sail so have
nobody to play with so going to get something that there
are loads of at the club (200 or solo....) class racing
is better than handicap.

As per my suggestion in your previous thread try an RS600 -
you'll buy a competitive boat for 2,500 and S.a.l.t.y is
one of the smaller sailors that I mentioned.

The Vortex looks great - but really isn't very widespread
beyond Yorkshire now.

If your near Western Sailing Club in just over a weeks time
we have an open meeting - come along and say hi and ask any
questions you have.
