I'd say go for the 29er though it sounds like your a touch short and light to crew one my brothers crewing one now and he's 6ft 1 n 10 1/2 stone and i beleive his helm is 5ft 9 and 10 stone and theyre pretty quick fink their planning of swapping roles though soon as my bro's a better helm than his crew. but anyway their great fun to sail far more fun than the rs 200

The recommeneded weight for the Cherub is between 16-25 stone, so if you consider it an option, it might be worth looking at the boat and go for a boat with a more conservative sail plan or find a crew above 10 stone. The 29er might be an easier boat to learn in and you do have the advantage of using the youth training program in place. The Cherub does seem to be the up and coming class just now and really interesting things are happening. Although you can participate with the youth squads through the 29er, the Cherub does have a really friendly class where people are more than willing to help you out, so I reckon you'd gain in either of the classes you choose.
