It seems silly that they don't come with that sort of kit as standard. I found someone selling a boat without a launching trailer - surely that's more essential than the road trailer!? (maybe it had just broken - who knows!)

I'm going to Southampton boat show around friday - but I doubt they'll drop the price to around the 3k mark for me! Mind you, I do like a bargain - so maybe a loan's in order...! Plus I've still got to sell the Wanderer!

The RS Vareo looks good to me, but it's primarily a one man boat:

My club owns some Fevas - maybe I'll try taking one out for a spin - at least just to see what the build quality is like on RS boats!
Wanderer 416 - oldest boat known to man!
Anyone want to buy her?

Yeah if you can get easy access to a Feva that's probably a good first step, it should at least give you some idea of what you like and what else you want to look for in a boat.

I'd say go for a 200- great boats, but they're quite expensive and don't really have a large 2nd hand market.

Thanks

Here's a link to the Laser 3000 Class website ... there's boats for sale area on the forum at £2250 to £3500: www.laser3000.lasersailing.com

I've owned one for 2 years now and am getting into the class racing scene, which is low key. Also sail singlehanded regularly at the club, on the trapeze with main and jenny in a F3 plus. Versatile boat but not seen on the water in numbers at many clubs.

Vandercraft have just started building, having aquired the moulds and rtights from Laser earlier in the year, and will be supplying good value class legal spares. See the new boat next to the Topper stand at Southampton.
