hi just thinking about a next boat for after I have sold my old boats.

I am open to suggestions, I sail a laser radial but my crew would vary form day to day, the weight range would be from about 8 stone to about 12.

I am not wanting anything to serious to sail as that is want my laser is for, just a new toy to have a play in. My budget would be under £1000 (because it is mainly for have a play with, it would be sold after a year)

I have had a look at both ents and 420s but I would just like more ideas!!!

If you want something to play with I wouldn't get an ent... I am selling a few old 420's fairly cheap, cheapest being around £800 I think- all with a decent set of sails etc, all good boats.

Alternatively, an old Laser 2, N12?

PM me for me details on the 420's if you'd like...

A Laser 3000 for only £750 if you're quick.

Ideal for Radial-size people (17-23 stone all-up crew weight) and a lot nicer than a 420 (I sailed both for years).
