Theres a few up for sale atm. You could do what I did, and somehow* end up with cherub for £500 . I still chuckle when I think about it. Flat Stanley for £500...

*buying boats for less than there worth and trade.

Contenders look better
Like some other things - sailing is more enjoyable when you do it with someone else

Farr 3.7s are built in foam as well as wood. I haven't sailed one, but I own a Cherub of very similar design (same designer at the same time) and its just a delight to sail singlehanded. In UK conditions you'd need a very lightweight helm in a 3.7, but it would really be a different experience to a 600. Much lighter and nimbler, and when you consider the 600 isn't a barge that's saying something!

understatement of the year...it's a boat for creweless N12 sailors... 8.8 sq M with a trapeze? Rooster 8.1s nearly have that size and you hike them and phantom mains are 10.5...
