Which boat...again -speedy rig/low weight

   Looking for a fun, lightweight (no more than approx 80kg) which can be rigged really fast and can cope with 1-2 shortish adults.  ...also need it to be from a large and reliable manufacturer.
Not bothered about speed. 
It will only be for inland lakes.
Help would be greatfully recieved as usual

	Tasar is the obvious lightweight boat... kite or no kite?

	Not worried either way about a kite - just easy to rig and sail

	Hi PT, The NS14s I have are Australian made, to an extremely high standard. They are very quick to rig - just hoist two sails and of you go. Takes about 2 minutes. NS's aren't manufactured, they are carefully crafted. Beware thinking large is relaible. Happy to answer any more questions you may have. Edit: I believe they are the lightest 14ft two-man boat in existence. Edited by Chew my RS

	Had a look round, but the NS14s are a bit scarce and so a little pricey. They do look ideal though What are the RS200s like? Do you think they would come somewhere near to my spec? I notice they weigh about 78kg, which is good...

	I'm not a fan of the RS200, but obviously plenty are. NS14 all the way from where I am standing.

	With regards to the Taser - how 'tippy' are they?
