Musto Skiff maybe? You had one once didn't you? A mate (only an average sailor) had one for a season and found it too much for him. But late low rider Moths have to be the trickiest of all...

Nope, the Musto is a pussycat compared to the 300.

Fair enough, you have 'the knowledge'
 So it'll be a Skippy 2 then? |

We've had this question before and it was also explored fully on 'other' forums. Even Sam has it wrong this time - the picture he posted shows a narrow lowrider but with a carbon rig. The reduction in weight aloft was a game changer - but go back just a bit further and you have narrow hulled lowriders with heavy alloy masts, the boats that are widely acknowledged as the most difficult of all the dinghies to sail. It might have been a more interesting question if the caveat 'available today' had been added to the question, as that would make it more relevant.
Other than that, we must be getting desperate to drag these old chestnut stories from out of the long grass and brambles.......... D

gotta to be a lowrider.... I've seen good dinghy sailors reduced to tears stepping in one of those.
Of those I've owned: RS600.... that bitch has a nasty bite when you pull its tail. |

...And perhaps more interesting still - What was the 'easiest' to get on the pace with ? (no - not just the easiest to simply sail ! )
