You could try the 100 again with the smallest sail 7.4sq metres

I recently met someone who was sailing an RS 300 at just over 9 stone, admittedly it was an A rig but even so it shows it is do able at light weights, I'm sailing one at your weight it seems to be more about technique than brute strength

Anyone recommend a good singlehanded skiff for a 15yo (10 stone) looking for something more exciting downwind than a laser? does not need a trapeze but preferably should have an asymmetric.  tried an rs 100 and 300 but im just not heavy enough.
thanks 
 
I'm 65kg and in a 100 and love it....have a demo and you will love it....

The boat was also sailed for a few days at Stone Week and I am awaiting a test sail report to post up on my blog...

The Farr 3.7 demo boat should have been built by now by Butler Boats, but unfortunately Dave injured himself at the Streaker Nationals and this has put things back a bit. But give Dave a ring. He is working with a number of suppliers to create a UK 3.7 for a very good price. My boat is available for test sailing. And is currently at Blackwater Sailing Club for the youth section to sail over the Summer. As they are very interested in a fleet. PM me and we can hook you up with a test sail if you are not far away from Essex.

Buy a 600 instead and reef it untill you weigh enough

The Farr 3.7 would be perfect for you, but right now you would have to build one yourself
